The Sea Stallion from Glendalough will remain on view at Custom House Quay today where there is also a Viking age craftwork display from noon to 5pm.

This afternoon, the crew and Danish and Irish dignitaries will plant oak trees at Glendalough as a living memorial of the visit.

On Friday morning, the Sea Stallion from Glendalough will be lifted out of the water and transported to the National Museum at Collins Barracks, where it will be hoisted over the 90-ft high West Block Building into Clarke Square.

It will remain there, as part of a special Viking- themed exhibition, which runs until June 2008, when it returns, under skipper Carsten Hvid, to Denmark. Along with the director of the Viking Ship Museum, Tinna Damgard-Sørensen, Hvid will also be among those giving a monthly lecture at the National Museum at Collins Barracks.
