The Viking longship Draken Harald Hårfagre that set sail for Duluth in April has reached North America after their journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way, the ship has made a handful of stops, including Iceland and Greenland.

The ship's website and Facebook page announced they've reached L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, Canada earlier today (June 1) as it will continue to sail toward Duluth for the Tall Ships Festival before heading eastward once again.
