Viking Plym - Ship Guild

Täby Vikinga Skeppslag

Viking Plym off Norrmälarstrand 1998-08-03

("TABY" in swedish written with dots over A is situated 10 km north of Stockholm. "Skeppslag" is a viking age swedish word meaning approximately "Ship-Guild". A skeppslag had to man a number of oars demanded by the king.)

 

Founded 1981 , when the ship was donated to TÄBY. We shall tend and man this ship, which is now by age and quality a cultural treasure Our present goal (1999) is to keep her sailing until the year 2012, when she will be 100 years of age.
We show our ship on different occassions such as maritime festivals, big sailing races etc. We will shortly take Viking Plym to New York for the Leif Ericsson millennium celebrations logotype.gif (2172 bytes)

The Shipguild in work

Below is a selection of pictures from our photo album. Move your mouse over the pictures for comments.. ;-)

Janne Timmerman makes fast... A well known oarswoman gives the finishing touch.. Lennart Vittfarne gives new shine to the varnished sides
I know it should be in here somewhere.... With thumb and rake the wood comes in shape
Better fasten properly if it shall last another 88 years
