Australia-Viking / 2
With a Sydney Harbour ferry dwarfing the tiny Viking boat, Norwegian traditional boatbuilder Harald Dalland takes a small family sailboat for a run at Darling Harbour as part of the National Maritime Museums Classic and Wooden Boat Festival in Sydney 10 October. Called a oselvarbat, the boat is a direct descendant from the great Viking ships, displaying the same design and construction including the traditional wooden keel, an invention which gave the Viking ships superior speed.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a fascinating juxtaposition of two worlds colliding. The Sydney Harbour ferry, an iconic symbol of modern transportation and grandeur, towers over a minuscule Viking boat helmed by Norwegian traditional boatbuilder Harald Dalland. This extraordinary sight unfolded at Darling Harbour during the National Maritime Museums Classic and Wooden Boat Festival in Sydney on 10 October. The diminutive vessel known as oselvarbat holds immense historical significance as it is a direct descendant of the mighty Viking ships that once ruled the seas. Its design and construction mirror those ancient vessels, featuring the traditional wooden keel which granted Vikings unparalleled speed and prowess in their maritime expeditions. As Harald Dalland takes his small family sailboat for a spin amidst the bustling harbor, one cannot help but marvel at the stark contrast between past and present. The image serves as a reminder of Australia's rich nautical heritage intertwined with its vibrant contemporary culture. Photographer William West skillfully captures this remarkable moment where time seems to converge, inviting us to contemplate our connection to history while embracing progress. Through his lens, he immortalizes an encounter that sparks curiosity and celebrates human ingenuity across centuries. This AFP photograph encapsulates not only the sheer beauty of these contrasting vessels but also invites us to reflect on our collective journey through time – from Viking warriors traversing treacherous waters to modern-day commuters navigating bustling harbors.
