there is a good PBS special on Vikings and their ship design - one biggie was the ability to sail rough seas and then move into shallow water rivers & lakes for the European "party boat" festivities

also Skoal and skull have the same roots...

I am 3/4 Scot - and at least half from the NE islands, so take some 'ancestral pride' in their exploits

BYW, did you find any info on Draken's grandson, Kraken?

I heard he got released...
