Viking longships silver and the Kensington mystery
from Unlocking the Unknown · host Atlas Gray
Keelness is the newly identified site of Thorvald Eriksson’s catastrophic shipwreck on the northern coast of Newfoundland, located approximately 14 miles west of the authenticated Norse settlement at L’Anse aux Meadows.The location matches the Greenlanders' Saga, which recounts how Thorvald shattered the ship's keel on a submerged rock and remained at the headland for extensive repairs before erecting the damaged timber as a namesake monument.Archaeological confirmation was achieved through satellite and drone imaging that revealed the "stocks," a support structure of parallel wooden beams used to stabilize the vessel during its intensive reconstruction.Would you like me to create a tailored report on the specific imaging technologies used to identify these underwater and ground features?
