1949: Modern Vikings recreate voyage to Britain
The Vikings invade Britain. Again.
Modern-day Vikings row from Denmark to Kent, recreating the voyage of their ancestors 1,500 years earlier in 449 AD. They are a lot more friendly this time.
Instead of being rowed back home, the ship – the Hugin - stayed in Kent and is still on display at Pegwell Bay.
