Friends of the Viking Ship

Crew member Rasmussen continues about the storm and the performance of the rudder in steering through it, "By 2:00 A.M. we had to take in the sails. The jib was reefed as well as two reefs in the square sail. This helped a bit. Although she was still taking in a lot of water, it was less than we expected in such a storm. ‘Viking’ was still showing her best side. I do not hesitate to say that a better ship is not afloat in salt water. Even to portside, the side rudder served very well. The steering was quite easy…For my part—and this is no exaggeration—as a helmsman, I have never had an easier or better ship to maneuver."
