Description
Summary:There must be hundreds of wooden ship replicas across the world, not only the ‘Viking ships’ in Scandinavia, but – as the book Sailing into the past shows, there are many medieval and more recent ones. Just search on the internet and you will find some which are built for tourism , education, or a hobby which has became more serious. It is one of the most popular fields in experimental archaeology too.
