Painting of Leif Erikson landing on the shore of North America.

We have a festival here called Tall Ships, there was a Viking ship on its way to Minnesota from Norway. The Coast Guard made them pay for a navigator and they couldn't afford it, so they only got as far as Chicago. I kinda wanted to see it, our once white football team is called the Vikings.

Just a few weeks ago we had a Norwegian cruise ship here called the Viking Octanis.

I remember seeing a German cruise ship years ago, curiously called the Christopher Columbus. It's been renamed to the Hamburg now.
