Hei,

jeg lurer på om jeg har funnet riktig e-post adresse nå.
Jeg har funnet et vikingeskip, under en pub, i England, (the Railway Inn, i Meols, på the Wirral).
Vikingskipmuseet i Norge, ville ikke hjelpe.

Jeg har snakket med de som jobber på puben og jeg var på Viking konferansen, i Chester, i fjor, og tok opp dette, i en 'spørretime', med ekspertene fra Liverpool National Museum, osv.
Dette er klinkebygget skip, på 10-15 meter, var det vel.

Altså omtrent som de skipene dere har funnet i Roskilde, (vil jeg tippe på).
Engelskmennene tror at skipet vil råtne, når de graver det opp, så de lar det bare ligge under leira.
Men jeg tenkte at sånne vikingeskip, de er jo sjeldne.

Dette er vel antagelig det eneste, klinkebygde skipet, som er i Storbritannia(?)
Det er vel ellers bare i Norden at man har funnet vikingeskip?
Dette kan være etter Ingemund, som var fra Dublin, men ble kastet ut av irene, og dro til the Wirral.

En norsk-irsk vikingehøvding, med andre ord.
Men jeg er kvart dansk, etter min danskfødte mormor, Ingeborg Ribsskog f. Heegaard, (og hun var etter Odin(!), blant annet, etter Løvenbalk og Plantagenet og de gamle danske konger, osv., faktisk, gjennom min tippoldemor Mary Eva Carla Fog, som var etter Løvenbalk, hvis jeg har forstått slektforskningen riktig).

Så jeg tenkte jeg kunne høre med dere vikingene i Danmark, siden de norske vikingene ikke er så interessert.
Jeg har altså startet mitt eget prosjekt, og trenger ekspertise, råd og penger.

Jeg har lovt de som jobbet på den puben nemlig, at jeg skulle skrive om dette skipet, i Skandinavia.

Så jeg strever fælt med å prøve å få noen til å hjelpe.

På forhånd takk for eventuell hjelp!

Mvh.

Hei,

hvordan er det i Danmark, har dere noen mulighet til å gi meg råd om dette?
Hverken Kulturhistorisk Museum, Norsk Sjøfartsmuseum, eller andre, har muligheten.

Hei,

har dere noe råd om å grave opp vikingskip, i England, i Bergen, for jeg

fikk råd om at jeg kunne høre med diverse sjøfartsmuseer osv., om det her, på

internett.

Jeg fant et vikingskip, som er klinkebygget, og er et langskip, under

parkeringsplassen, til en pub, på the Wirral.

Da en lokal 'innfødt' tipset meg om dette skipet.

Jeg lovet de som jobbet på puben, at jeg skulle prøve å ta opp det her, på

min blogg osv., i Norge.

Tar gjerne imot tips om konserveringen av skipet, for britene tror at

skipet vil råtne straks det blir gravd opp, og noen svensker har rådet de til å

la skipet bli under leira.

Så det trengs noen norske rådgivere, siden dette nok er snakk om et norsk

vikingeskip, siden det er i den delen av the Wirral hvor den norsk-irske

vikinghøvdingen Ingemund, dro til, etter å ha blitt jaget av irene fra Dublin

osv.

På forhånd takk for eventuell hjelp!

Mvh.

Hei,

jeg har startet arbeidet med å prøve å få hjelp til å grave opp et

vikingskip, som jeg har blitt gjort oppmerksom på, her i England.

Jeg gikk for å se på vikinghavnen i Meols, og da sa en brite, som jogga

forbi, at under puben the Railway Inn, så lå det et viking langskip.

The Wirral var et gammelt, norsk vikingland, (omtrent som Isle of Man), så

dette er nok snakk om norske vikinger.

Skipet er klinkebygget, fant man ut, da man tilfeldigvis fant

skipet.

Det ligger under leire, og er godt bevart.

Skipet er vel unikt i Storbritannia, hvor man ikke har

vikingskipmuseum, såvidt meg bekjent.

Engelske forskere, som en professor, ved National Museums Liverpool, som

holdt foredrag på en vikingkonferanse, som jeg var på, i Chester, for noen uker

sider, sier at skipet vil råtne, med en gang det blir gravet opp.

Stemmer dette, lurer jeg.

Det finnes jo vikingskip i museer i Norge og i andre land i Norden, så

det høres rart ut, å si at skipet bare vil råtne, synes jeg.

Hvordan løses dette i Norge?

Hva bruker man på treverket, for at det ikke skal råtne, når man graver

opp vikingskip?

Mvh.

Erik Ribsskog

PS.

Jeg prøver også å finne organisasjoner i Norge, som kan hjelpe til, med

midler/personell til utgravingen, for man mangler midler i England, (hvor de

kanskje er mest glad i romersk arkeologi).

PS 2.

Jeg håper dere kan hjelpe, for de neste på lista til Riksantikvaren, er

Roskilde i Danmark, og det her er snakk om norske vikinger, så det blir litt

dumt å kontakte Danmark.

PS 3.

I

have involuntarily been drawn into in this unpleasant e-mail correspondence and

I have no interested in being a part of it!

If

there is a ship of Nordic design dating to the Viking period in a Pub somewhere

in England that is a fascinating story. However, I’m content that our

British colleges have the knowledge and skills to deal with such finds.

This

is not something the Norwegian Maritime Museum will prioritize to get involved

in!

Please, do not contact me concerning this matter again!

Dear

Erik,

Ingi

Thor Jonsson, along with Wirral and Liverpool’s cultural ambassador Mike

McCartney has done a tremendous amount of work over the last 4 years in

strengthening the links between Merseyside/ the North West and the Nordic

countries through the annual Nordic Cultural Events (NICE) Festival, and the

suggestion of you making contact was made because of the (mistaken) impression

you may wish to contribute to these efforts. With respect to the Viking

Conference at Chester and the splendid exhibition provided for the public to

enjoy the regions great Viking Heritage this was all provided completely free

of charge
– as was the buffet – thanks to the tremendous efforts of the

staff of the Grosvenor Museum, and all the feedback we have had – apart from

your comment – has been very positive. As a Wirral man going back very many

generations I am very proud of what has been achieved. The food provided

was free and if you did not like it there were other places to buy food nearby.

If you missed the start of the meeting and the introduction so you did not

know who the speakers were this was not the fault of the organisers.

Nontheless we appreciate your interest in the Vikings in our region but if you

wish to communicate with us in future please refrain from using offensive

language otherwise your emails will be blocked. The talks will be posted

on the website as soon as we can,

Best

wishes

Hi,

yes, I didn't

understand the routine, to get on the conference.


But, I haden't

seen the exhipition yet, Reap and Pillage, so I just went to Chester that day,

but the train was a few minutes early, so I got there a bit

late.

And then I spoke with the people working there,

at the museum, who got me in there, after the first break.

I understood it

like that one only had to register at the museum, from your

website.


But now I

understand, that I should have ordered a ticket.


This wasn't

clear to me, from reading your website.

But, this is just

a hobby for me, with the viking-stuff on the Wirral, so I read about it like I

would have read an online newspaper etc.


But next time

I'll make sure to contact the hosts before I go to a conference like

that.


Sorry about

that misunderstanding again!

It sounds very

fine about the video of the conference.


I'll update

you if I hear more from the Norwegian Maritime Museum, about the Vikingship,

under the pub, Railway Inn, in Meols.

Thanks again for

arranging the fine viking conference!

Best

regards,

Hi,

that is, I don't

want to have this as a life-style, with football-games at the Wirral and be

mate with the Icelandic guy from the Scandinavian Church,

etc.


I only care

about the viking-stuff on the Wirral etc.


Because I

have a lot of different interests, like blog, genealogy, web-design, etc.,

etc.


So I haven't

got that much spare-time.


So this

isn't about the community-stuff, this is just about the vikingship and the

conference.


Hope you

include the questions from the audience, (from me and others), in the summary,

since I brought up about the vikingship in Meols etc.


Hope this is

alright, don't mean to be to direct/inpolite.


Best

regards,


Erik Ribsskog

PS.


Maybe I'll

go on a movie, or something, part of the Nordic festival, but I haven't got

the time to go there all the time, unfortunately.

I thought about

going on Max Manus, (the Norwegian was-movie), in the Scandinavian chruch last

year.


And I asked

a young Swedish woman, Amanda, who works at Netto, Weaverthree, if she had

been at the Scandinavian Church, but she hadn't.

Also, I have an

employment-case, against Bertelsmann Arvato Microsoft Scandinavian Product

Activation:

Perhaps you know

someone at the University of Nottingham, who could help me with this case, as

a pro-bono-case, because this case involved/involves many Scandinavians living

in Liverpool.

(My alumumni, at

University of Sunderland, haven't replied).

Also, some of

the employees there, had a lot to do with the Scandinavian Church, (and are

included in the case), an Irish/Swede called Michael O'Shaughnessy etc., so

I'm a bit vary about the Scandinavian Church, to be frank.


So I think

I'll only keep this at the level it's been at, that I only go to the odd

trip/event at my own choice..


Hope this is

alright!

Subject: Viking DNA

book

Dear Colleagues (including many of you who took part in the

genetic survey of northwest England, 2002-2007, or the Nordic Festival in

2008)

Apologies if you get this message more than once! We are

writing to bring to your attention a publication we have just

produced. It focuses on the first part of a genetic survey of

northern England – the Wirral and West Lancashire project in the

northwest – and explains the basis behind the DNA method to probe

ancestry, the use of surnames to help to localize volunteers to specific

regions of the country, and how genetic methods are being used in

conjunction with historical, archaeological and linguistic evidence to learn

about Viking ancestry. It also gives some examples from

individual results and from comparing populations of people to help show

what these new technologies can achieve.

Publication of the book has been supported by one of the UK

Research Councils who have been supporting the study (the Biotechnology and

Biological Sciences Research Council) – and Nottingham University Press in

conjunction with Countyvise Limited have very kindly produced this for us

and indeed done a splendid job. We would like to stress that we

as authors are not taking any Royalties or profit!

The book is introduced with

a brilliant foreword by famous UK/BBC historian/broadcaster Michael

Wood
after which we set out to show as clearly as we can, with the

help of full colour illustrations – what DNA is and how DNA methods can be

used to probe both individual and population ancestry. For probing

Viking ancestry it shows the importance of using DNA in conjunction with

historical, linguistic, place name and archaeological evidence – again with

the help of many colour illustrations, and explains how DNA can be used to

probe paternal ancestry and maternal ancestry either for individuals or for

populations of people, explaining also some of the sometimes complicated

jargon that scientists use.

A major problem in studying

population ancestry is the large population movements that have occurred

since the Industrial Revolution. However there is a strong link

between surnames and paternal DNA ancestry and the book explains how

information such as Henry VIII’s tax rolls, , and even criminal records

(including someone accused of killing a dog in 1348 …. found not guilty!)

can be used to help establish the volunteer base for specific regions of

northern England. Using these methods significant Scandinavian

ancestry (up to 50% of the mixture of DNA from the old populations) has been

shown for Wirral and West Lancashire. One youngster from Wirral

was so impressed with the results for her father she wrote a School

project “My Viking Dad and his Viking Dog”! The book finishes with a look

towards the current testing of other regions of Northern England and the

research currently being undertaken with colleagues in Norway to study the

genetic profile of Scandinavia in the Viking Age.

This broadcast on BBC Radio

4 gives some more information about the survey: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/making_history/making_history_20080520.shtml (after

the first minute or so)

So we think it will be a useful read for anyone interested in DNA

ancestry and, after seeing what we have done in the North West, give people

from other regions an idea of how their own past could be

researched. The book is 150 pages long and extensively

illustrated in colour.. The book has just

become available in all good bookshops in the north West or from

Amazon.co.uk *and would make an excellent Christmas

present.
