Copenhagen 4 - Roskilde

Base of operations for many a raid into Europe and the UK for those happy-go-lucky Danish tourists, the Vikings. Scary folk, this lot. Sea power, scant disregard for human life and a religion dominated by Thor - god of bashing people over the head with heavy things - drove them on until christianity turned them into the wimps we see today. I mean, when was the last time you saw Prince Frederik striding up the beach with a war hammer, bit of a stiffy and no condoms? Thought so.

Five - count em - Viking boats reconstructed from their deliberately sunk remains. Good movie showing how they were fished out of the fjord, too.

Not in bad shape for something that's been under water for a thousand years or so.

Though some of them didn't come out of it so well.

The Gay Galleon. Those pink shields and the rainbow sail are a bit of a give away. To the sounds of 'Hello, sailor' and 'Who left that stain on my bunk', they would rape all the men and kill all the women. They also established England's first nudist beach and gay rave; The Horny Viking (pointy helmets must be left at the door).

Touch my galleon one more time and it's a blue handbag in the head for you, matey.

Like me tackle?

This bloke...

...made all these...

...and these.
