TVS own Rune Stones

"Täby Vikinga Skeppslag" proudly presents our own Rune Stone. This stone was erected in 1995. One of our members skillfully carved the stone which has the text (loosley translated):

The Dragon ship
Viking Plym
Built 1912
Täby Municipality owns
Täby Viking ship guild tends and sail

The runes say:

One of the worlds oldest sailing dragonships.

Our Rune Stone
Since the stone was carved we have positively confirmed that Viking Plym is the oldest viking ship still sailing. We have been using the term dragon ship, a tribute to her original name draken (the dragon) and her ornamented stem - which is a carved dragon-head. However dragonships are really chineese boats...
