Challenging the sea
Since the spectacular baptisement in 1984 ThorViking and crew are challenging the gods and the sea where ever they can. Under the recent decade ThorViking and Crew have participated in a wide range of viking time activities - often in close collaboration with other ships and crews.

| 2001- 2004 |
Various local journeys with Viking ship interested people from all countries of Europe as well as from USA. |
| 2005 | Sailing to "BIRKA" and meeting the trading Vikings at Stallarholmen marketplace. |
| 2006 |
The scheduled 1 week voyage from Vänersborg to Arvika had to be cancelled.
Protecting the Glafsfjorden but no hostile intruder from TrätäljareRiket was to be seen nor to be fighted. Just miles with plain sailing under sunny, blue, hot clear sky’s. |
| 2007- 2011 | Just miles with funny sailing in groups with mostly German, highly interested Viking fans. Most impressive the big interest by female crewmembers to prove the tactics and understanding of a Viking time vessel. |
| 2012 | We ripped the sail in a hard, sudden gust, the sun had done a good job in 18 years and the 20m2 are now reduced to 18m2. But a brand-new shiny 20m2 sail is up on the square again maintaining manoeuvrability in all weathers. The boat is worth the best material after all the years in service and hence it is made of the finest ind.Silk by the handy sail makers sail maker Latsch from the dark German Teutonien forests where the Romans once under Publius Varus Quinctilius were stopped for ever invading northern Europe and Scandinavia. |
| 2013 | ThorViking got a very new painting under water to maintain speed as well as some sponsored spare parts from the most famous boat pump manufacturer from old Viking Ireland. I guess GUSHER must have experience in keeping Viking ships dry since the first Viking ships were build in Dublin? |
