There's a full-sized Leif Erickson Viking ship in Duluth, Minnesota -- single-masted, and not all that impressive (Update: Built in the 1920s, it was locked in a shed in 1999, awaiting an "long overdue" restoration). A larger 76-foot, exact replica of a Viking ship sits at the Heritage-Hjemkomst Interpretive Center in Moorhead, MN. It built by Robert Asp, a junior high school guidance counselor, in the 1970s; he dreamed of sailing it to Norway.
