This video commemorates the launch on July 2, 2006 of a Viking Ship replica crafted by Pehr Boling. On July 14, 2008, Pehr Bolling passed away. Brady Hallongren edited the clips and added music to create this video. Over a number of years, Pehr carved a dragon head and tail and painted shields. Son-in-law Paul Rimington attached the mast and motor. Neighbor Jim Carpenter assisted with the last minute details including supplying the motor and transporting the boat for its final fitting.

    The boat might not be the real thing, but my grandpa spent the last 12 years of his life carving the mast, painting the shields, and working with my dad to make that ship float. He was so proud of being a Swede. Sailing that Viking Ship on the lake was his dream. I don't think that is silly at all. Until the day he died last January, he watched that video probably twice a week because it made him so proud. I can only hope to have that kind of drive, passion, and contentment when I am in my 80s.

  • This silly boat ...

    This silly boat bears no resemblance to a traditional Norwegian boat whatsoever. And those ridiculous helmets ...
