Viking ship replica, 1893
The first viking ship replica; Viking.
From what I found on the internet, this is a copy of the original Gokstad ship (from apx 850). It left the harbour of Oslo in April 1893, and arrived in Chicago on the 12th of June, and was an attraction at the Chicago Columbian Exposition. It can now be found in Geneva, Illinois, USA.
From the harbour of Christiania, today: Oslo, Norway. On the back it is dated 14th feb 1893, Xania (Christiania), but the photo is taken in Sandefjord, Norway on the 4th of February 1893.
