Some modern-day Vikings arrived in the port of Quebec City on Thursday, but don’t worry – they come in peace.
The Draken Harald Harfagre, the world’s largest Viking ship built in modern times. left port in Haugesund, Norway in late April, sailed to Iceland, then spent six weeks traversing the Atlantic on the same route as the legendary Viking explorer Leif Eriksson.
According to the ship’s website, the goal is to “create intercultural meetings and inspire people to go beyond the horizon.”
The Draken had made previous stops in Greenland and Newfoundland and will continue on to ports in Toronto, Chicago and New York City, among others, before ending its voyage in October.
