The Osburg ship, which is the best safe Viking Longshush, has moved for the first time since Oslo was installed in Oslo’s Vikingship Museum 99 years ago. It took 10 hours to travel 100 meters (328 feet), and it is not counting more than a decade research, funding battles, engineering innovations and construction that made it possible.
The remains of a ship were first discovered in 1903 by the Farmer Oscar Rome, in the Lily Osburg form of the West Fold Slag Slag. He reported his search to Gabriel Gustafson, an archaeologist at the University of Oslo, who went to see himself, and immediately recognized the Zumorphic decoration on a wooden ship as a Viking Age. He returned to the site in the next spring, and hundreds of magnificent grave equipment-a four-wheeled wagon, three complex carved sled, tools, kitchen utensils, tents, textiles, carved animals, and two women’s skeleton remains. Researchers found that it was built in 820, which had been used in the sea for 14 years, and then retired for use as a burial ship in 834.
At that time, Norway had no heritage law, so the Osburg ship and all its contents belonged to the landlord. Thankfully, a private donor bought the whole kit and kabodal and donated it to Oslo University. Other wealthy donors supported thousands of crooners for the protection and rehabilitation of the ship, as was Cristiania city. In an important effort of protection, the wood was slowly dried and the ship was re -formed with real wood as possible. It took 21 years, but it was a tremendous rehabilitation achievement, and even today, 90 % of the rebuilding ship is made of original wood.
In 1926, the Osburg ship was shifted from Oslo University to the newly constructed Vikingship Museum. The museum was designed to accommodate 40,000 visitors every year, but less than 90 years, it was hosting more than half a million visitors every year, and was actively damaging the delicate dry wood of all their humidity and heat and feet. A 2012 study states that the museum needs all new houses of ships and wagons and slags, with new breaking, new climate -controlling technology, new anti -vibrations.
Many discussions, funding arguments and construction suggestions began, and nothing changed. Only when the Goxtad ship developed two major cracks in 2019, did the Norwegian government allocate funds for the new museum? After that, there was further delay, but finally the construction began last year with a new increase in the museum. In order to prevent ships and contents from damaging the next gate from damage to the construction, large -scale customs steel veins were built by a company that specializes in equipment for the foreign industry in the North Sea. The trumpets kept the ships stable during construction work, and when the new feature was completed, it was designed to use it as moving veins.
Even despite a maximum of 25 cm per minute, it was very interesting to follow the move. The walls had only millimeters clearance when the Osburg ship came out of the hall where it stands for the past 99 years, and for several hours the ship was several meters from the floor before coming down slowly.
“This is a historic day. It is a ship that has been a major part of the day and is a subsequent life that I have a cold to think about,” says Audi Tensin, director of the museum.
The ship’s move and safety project is extremely complicated, and it has been necessary for the professionals of diverse industries during an extension period.
The museum’s conservatives and archaeologists have worked with a project with the North North Pacific engineers, vibration experts, crane operators, and several others.
The next Gok Stud will be a ship. Preparations for the move begin next week at this fall. The ship’s ship will last in three Viking ships at the museum. After the completion of this transition, the three Osburg slags, which are the most delicate things in the collection, will be moved.
The Osburg ship’s move is amazingly cool -time equipped.
