I would never have found that, congrats to Bracer

I would have called it a drawer but only for the fact you identified it and the location first and Kai appears to be gracious enough despite having guessed the actual vessel to give it to you.

Just lost the text again arrgh

Of course, it s bracer's turn!

I would never have guessed that, or only days and lots of hints later!

And i even have to correct myself, the photo of the ship Jim posted is the "Oseberg", an early form of the viking ship, with lower boards and more being a fast yacht of the time.

The other big viking ship in the Oslo museum is the "Gokstad" one:

https://www.khm.uio.no/english/visit...stad-ship.html

A high-seas "snake" ('Orm') with higher boards, of which a 1:1 replica was built and made it easily over the Atlantic, and back. They did not trust the original rudder, so they installed a second one, and an outboard motor. The first big waves washed both modern installations right into the sea, and the original balanced rudder proved to be well up to the job.

Both were excellent fast sailing ships though, able to cut across and making some ten knots by half-wind. The construction was very flexible, making it possible for the hull to adapt to the waves and surf them. The production process was also very special.. does anyone even read this

Whatever, over to bracer

Great! Thanks gents, for clearing it out!
I will cook something up that is twice as difficult then, to celebrate our draw.

But this is not that.

Well, I am not sure what to answer. In someways it could move, but not at the moment.

u crank · 03-04-20, 07:49 AM

OK. Did it move under its own power?

Jimbuna · 03-04-20, 08:10 AM

Is it a vehicle?

No, it did not change location on its own.
