Following the overwhelming response and great show of interest for Expedition America 2016, Draken will soon set out for her next adventure: Expedition America - East Coast Tour 2018.
Expedition America - East Coast Tour 2018 will start at July 9 by Draken leaving Mystic Seaport, CT, to head for the ship's first stopover. During the tour Draken will visit 14 harbors across the East Coast of the U.S. spanning from Maine to South Carolina.
With great interest for sailing, boatbuilding and vikings the project to build and sail the greatest viking ship of modern times started. The curator of the project, Sigurd Aase, wanted this extraordinary ship to follow in the wake of one of the most challenging viking explorations – the Viking discovery of the New World.
