The boat hall is also used as a workshop, so there are often ‘shavings’ on the floor.The boat is also maintained here. Boat space Tilia on her transport trolley. Photo: Ib Stolberg-Rohr Tilia is always positioned on the transport trolley with the starboard side facing an elevation so visitors can get a full view down into the boat. Exhibition Photo posters and the stem piece. Photo: Ib Stolberg-Rohr The posters on the end wall show the different phases of the boat's creation and testing.The image at the end of the stem piece's horn is from one of the National Museum's displays of the original Hjortspring boat.The ‘half’ boat at the front is a full-size practice version of a stern section. It has been used, along with a centre piece, for exhibitions around the world, for example in Denmark, Sweden and Germany.The arm with the rudder is an illustration of a hypothesis put forward by G. Rosenberg [p. 88] for a possible use of the four cleats found in the bow of the boat.The dark outline on the rudder blade is an illustration of the piece of a rudder blade found in the front part of the boat. There is also an outline, at the bottom, on the other side of the rudder, corresponding to the piece found in the aft part of the boat [p. 86 - 89]. Current project Loki. It was supposed to be a stretched dugout canoe, based on the Swedish Björkebåd. Photo: Ib Stolberg-Rohr An ongoing project: To make a boat that is easier to handle than Tilia.It is a stretched log boat, modelled on the Björke boat from around 400 AD. It was found in Sweden.It is called Loki because it was so difficult!So difficult that it will never become a boat. It will have a future life as a garden bench! Our mistakes in this project will still be visible.The project also shows how important it is to follow our own order of priorities, which was deviated from here, sigh!The blue wall at the back of the picture is being set up to display tools and aids used in the construction of Tilia The other end of the workshop. Photo: Ib Stolberg-Rohr At the other end of the workshop, we have set up a (Viking Age) tent, where we show a model (Swedish) of a skin-covered rock carving boat. It shows why it is necessary to have horns on this type of boat. You can get the explanation next time you visit us.Along the walls there are various workplaces, including one where guests can try using our ‘Hjortspring iron’, a tool from around year 1, under competent guidance, they are very sharp.

Our building at Dyvigvej 11, Holm, 6430 Nordborg, Denmark Lindeværftet, Dyvigvej 11 The guild building at Dyvigvej 11, Nordborg. Photo: I. Stolberg-Rohr Workshop The workshop group had travelled far and wide in Nordals to find a suitable room to build the boat in. The room had to be at least 24 metres long with a width of at least 8 metres.After looking at various options, we ended up renting the end of an old chicken house in Holm, two kilometres west of Nordborg. The house was 44 metres long and 10 metres wide with a ceiling height of 2.5 metres. The rented building in Holm. Photo: H.P. Rasmussen A 24 metre long room at the south end was separated from the rest and a small meeting room measuring 3x8 metres was built. The rent was DKK 30,000/year.The hall was poorly insulated and without heating. It contained an electrical system and was lit with fluorescent tubes.Along the eastern long side of the hall, a series of benches were mounted at a distance of 2.5 metres. Work benches along the east side of the hall. Photo: H.P. Rasmussen These were used as workbenches where the half logs could be placed to be processed into planks. Sunday, 17 May, 1998 An inauguration party was held for our new building - the Linde boatyard. Well, a little too early, because the purchase of our old workshop and land was not yet finalised until 1999.The purpose was to build and furnish an actual lecture theatre, install toilet facilities and provide space for a smithy. When the boat was near completion, we started renovating the building. The first activity was to break through the gable wall to the north and install a gate so that the boat could be rolled out into the open, a not unimportant activity. Plan of the Linde shipyard. Drawing: C.B. Hansen Two firewalls were built and then the lecture theatre was decorated. The floor and walls were insulated, the walls were clad with rustic boards and the ceiling was heavily insulated. A couple of large windows and an entrance were inserted in the east wall. A chimney was built and a wood-burning stove was installed. A small kitchen was installed in a niche and an area with AV equipment was set up to hold lectures and show pictures and films to 50 people at a time.
