The ship was a replica of the Skuldelev I , a type of ship called Knorr , which was mainly used by the Vikings to transport loads around the year 1000. The Saga Siglar (Saga Sailors) was christened on May 17, 1983 by the archaeologist Anne-Stine Ingstad on the grounds of the Sunnmøre Museum in the Norwegian city of Ålesund . The Siglar saga sank in a storm in the Mediterranean in 1992.

This diesel engine also operated two generators with 0.75 kW each and six bilge pumps.Two containers were installed in front of and behind the mast for the circumnavigation of the world. The foredeck -Container served to sleep, the containers in the stern as a galley and lounge. Creaks are open boats without a continuous deck and can therefore hit full of water. The two containers, which were lashed to the frames, therefore served not only as accommodation, but also as a float, which in an emergency should delay the sinking of the boat at least until the life raft was deployed. BootsbauThe Saga Siglar was built in the Norwegian municipality of Volda in Bjørkedal by the boat builder Sigurd Bjørkedal and his sons Dag Inge, Jakob and Ottar. Situated takelt the ship from the Longva workshop in Haugsbygda on the island was Gurskøy . The keel , stern , bottom walls and rudder of the Saga Siglar were built from oak, the rest of the ship from pine wood. In contrast to the original, the planks were not made by splitting logs, but using sawn planks. Machine-made galvanized nails were used instead of forged nails made from lawn iron ore . To theCaulk the seams Plank teergetränkter hemp (was tow ) is used, rather than bad luck dipped sheep wool and Kuhhaare like the original.As with the original, round stones were used as ballast , which were placed on birch twigs in the hull to protect the ship's bottom. SealingLongships and carves were both sailed and rowed. Knorren, on the other hand, were pure sailing ships that had only a few oars for maneuvering, for example when mooring in a harbor. The sail was not made of wool, as was customary in the Viking Age, but of Duradon . This material should have about the same quality and properties as wool.
