Following the roads along the Göta Älv river the video takes you from Nol to Äskekärr where a viking ship was excavated. The restored ship parts are on display at the Museum of Gothenburg (Göteborgs Stadsmuseum) and is Sweden’s only restored viking ship. It is a freight ship and experimental archeologist Mari Wickerts will tell more about its unique details in the video.
