The Viking Ship Museum's boatyard are in the process of building two large Faroe Boats with 10 oars on each side - in Faroese 'teinæringur' - to be used for sailing with the museum's guests. The boats accommodate 20 guests each as well as two sailing instructors.
The two boats are being built right after each other - the first boat was completed in January 2018, and the second boat will be completed by the end of 2018. Visitors can follow the building process at the boat yard at the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde.

The film has sub-titles in English. Watch the movie by clicking here ...
The boat got the name 'Storkjoven' - after a bird found in large numbers on the island of Skúvoy, where the builder Hanus Jensen, who was in charge of the construction, comes from.
