Let the countdown begin...

Martin and Ture work on producing the oarlocks. No traces of the original oarlocks were found during the excavation of the Gislinge Boat, so the boatbuilders have been trawling other archaeological ship and boat finds, to find a suitable model that they could use. They settled on an example found during the excavation of the medieval harbour at Bryggen in Norway.
