The Viking Ship

Here is an old photo again from my aunt Dorothy that shows the old Viking Ship. My Dad and uncles made this out of barrels and plywood. The mast was a tent pole and it had a real canvas sail with the Celtic cross painted on it in red. The sides of the ship were yellow with red trim. It is hard to see, but there is a dragon head sitting proudly on the prow of our Viking Ship. What fun we had sailing around lick creek, jumping off of and swimming from the ship, and taking the craft into the "swamp". As I remember, the ship was eight feet wide and sixteen feet long.
