Vikings Land In Jersey City

The Abora 3 project is attempting to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a viking style reed ship to demonstrate the possibility that vikings could have showed up centuries before Columbus. One of the reed ships found itself on dry land this weekend in the marina next to Paulus Hook. So some fool is going to cross the Atlantic in this thing:

A viking ship made from reeds is constructed near the Morris Canal in downtown Jersey City



Next week, Leif Ericson Tower to be built on Leif Ericson Drive.

This isn't a viking ship. It is Native American. The project leaders are working on the premise that ancient Amerindians could have crossed the Atlantic in reed ships similar to those still used throughout Latin America.
