Description
The bold cover shows a handsome bearded Viking in a horned battle helmet. The card opens to reveal a 3-D teak Viking Ship in startling detail, with a carved wooden Dragon from fore to aft, a red sail and six sets of golden oars in mid-stroke.
By Odin’s beard! Brave Viking sea pirates left their Scandinavian homelands centuries before Columbus to venture as far south as Portugal and as far west as the new world. They’ve given us over a thousand words used in English today, as well as astounding tales and a yearning to conquer sea and land.
The Vikings built fast ships for raiding and war. These ships were called dragon ships or longships that could sail in shallow water so they could travel up rivers as well as across the sea. In a raid, a ship could be hauled up on a beach. The Vikings could jump out and start fighting, and then make a quick getaway if they were chased.
This is a card for a bold adventurer, a pirate, a seaman, for Father’s Day, for friendship, exploration, and for fun.
