- replica of a viking trading boat which kind was probably used on the inland waters and inshore.
- built 1982-84 at the Haderslev museum, at which one could lively watch the construction progress.
- used as an active museum vessel today to give a preferably big audience the understanding of the achievements of the vikings in ship building and seafaring.
