February 1917. To provide logistical support to WWI troops, a troopship of volunteers from the South African Native Labour Contingent is sent to France. The men never arrive. This incident still troubles some South African communities today. A story endures of the final hours before the volunteers drowned, when a charismatic Xhosa priest called the men to dance a warrior dance on deck as their ship sunk into the freezing water.
On 1st July 2007, 65 men and women set off on a extraordinary voyage. Their goal: to sail the world’s largest reconstructed Viking ship from Denmark to Ireland. Their ship, the Sea Stallion of Glendalough is a meticulous reconstruction of a 30 metre longship discovered under the sea. The aim of the voyage is to discover whether they’ve got it right, but that means trusting their lives to a ship designed almost 1,000 years ago.
