Location: Scandinavian Centre, Burnaby, BC, Canada

To attract people to our events we sometimes arrange happenings and invite media. Summer of 2001 was a great year for us Viking enthusiasts here on the West coast of Canada, with events such as the Viking Ship Project's launch of the Viking ship, a Viking Exhibition at the Maritime Museum and the popular Midsummer fest at the Scandinavian Centre. To make more people aware of these fantastic events we arrange an event including the moving of our display ship at the centre as well as a preview of the half scale replica of the Gokstad ship. I share some pictures here from that event. Enjoy!

	Verner and Olaf		The sail is put in place before the ship is moved.
	The ship is placed on logs.		Despite the small size of the ship we needed a lot of men to push it.
	Finally it starts moving.		The ship was transported the old traditional way, on logs.
	Media was filming the event that later was featured on the local TV.		Almost there!
	The transportation is done, and the ship can be seen from the road for advertising the centre.		Verner and Olaf
