Sailing to New York: The World’s Largest 115ft Viking Ship (Featured in The Odyssey) #VikingShip #TheOdyssey #NewYorkCity
Draken Harald Hårfagre, a magnificent 115-foot open wooden hull and the world’s largest Viking ship sailing in modern times, sets course for its final destination: New York City harbor. Retracing the legendary open-ocean route from Haugesund, Norway, this historic transatlantic transit navigated through severe North Atlantic storms, dense iceberg fields, and volatile weather systems.

Spanning across the Shetland Islands, Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, and Newfoundland, the successful voyage through the St. Lawrence Seaway and into the Great Lakes conclusively proves the endurance and sophisticated naval engineering of ancient shipwright architecture. The arrival in Manhattan marks the ultimate completion of a monumental expedition, celebrated with an entry past the Statue of Liberty and docking at North Cove Marina near One World Trade Center.
This historic arrival included public deck tours and educational exhibitions hosted in the Winter Garden at Brookfield Place. These community events allowed thousands of visitors to engage directly with the ship, interact with the crew, and learn about the meticulous boatbuilding craftsmanship and history behind Expedition America.
Draken is not a museum piece. She is a real ship, operated by a real crew, bringing history to life through seamanship, craftsmanship, exploration, and experiential archaeology.
As the real ship featured in Christopher Nolan’s film The Odyssey, seeing this massive 115-foot traditional vessel complete a genuine transatlantic crossing highlights the absolute realism brought to the screen.
