As Forbes reports, this particular burial site is already
quite famous for its many Viking treasures, including the Oseberg and Gokstad
ships, which are now safely preserved in Oslo’s Viking Ship Museum.
Announcing the
stunning find of the new Viking ship in Norway, Ola Elvestuen, Norway’s
Minister of Climate and Environment, attended a press conference at the Midgard
Viking Center in Horten. He called the discovery “historic.”
As Elvestuen also
noted, while seven Viking ships dating from between 800 and 1,050 A.D. have
already been discovered in Norway, three of these were found specifically in
Vestfold.
