Vikings Krampmacken Viking ship replica - 25901801356 Swedish History Museum (Historiska museet) MuseumsPartner exhibition "Vikings Beyond the legend" Australian National Maritime Museum Sydney 2013
To find out how the Vikings travelled east via the rivers to the Black Sea and Miklagard, (Norse for today's Istanbul), many theories have been tested.
Krampmacken has been reconstructed from an archaeological boat discovery from the end of the Viking Age. Researchers wanted to build a boat that could handle both the waves of the Baltic Sea and the shallow rivers of the east. The boat measures 8x2 metres, has a large braided square sail, four rowing stations, and can accommodate a crew of 10-11 people. Between 1983-1985 a journey in two stages was carried out from Gotland, Sweden to Istanbul, Turkey.
