Tilia with a crew in Iron Age costume.
The Hjortspring Boat is the culmination of 1,500 years of boat-building experience, from the beginning of the Bronze Age and into the Early Iron Age. It is the only boat of this type found to date, even though 10s of thousands of rock carvings have been found that resemble the shape of the Hjortspring Boat. The Hjortspring boat is an elegant, minimalist, shaped boat.

Tilia is the most accurate reconstruction of the Hjortspring Boat in existence; and the only one still sailing.
