[Public-List] viking ships

[Gordon Laco]

Hi -

Yes, I know about that stone and it was indeed debunked, too bad it  
would have made a hell of a story.  The stone purported to be a relic  
of an expedition that came south from Hudson's Bay.  If I remember  
correctly the stone numbered the members of the expedition, described  
that they had left their ship several weeks march to the North... and  
ominously ended with the words "The Skraelings are killing us".  The  
Vikings called the Amerindians Skraelings.  (pardon my spelling..)

Ever read Farley Mowatt's 'Westviking'?
