Norwegian researchers are excited by the latest find of an intact ship near the
spot where the famous Gokstad ship was discovered in 1880.
Norwegian archaeologists have hit the mother lode in the form of a mound near
Toensberg, Norway. Near where the Gokstad ship, now on display in the Viking
Ship Museum in Oslo, was found in 1880, the mound has now delivered four Viking
ships. The latest may be of particular interest since it seems to be intact due
to clay deposits in the area.
