HUGIN VIKING SHIP
9th September 1949
By Valerie Edwards
I remember visiting relatives in Newhaven and going down the harbour to see this boat, a lot of other people were there that day as well. I remember the boat as being brown.
Hugin is now in Ramsgate, Kent. It is documented that 53 Danes rowed the boat, which was built in Denmark in 1949 to commemorate the Vikings landing in Kent 1,500 years before!
