"Naddoddur" Capsized: RIP Karla Dana

[GordMay]

An American woman, 29-year-old archaeologist, Karla Dana, died when the “Naddoddur”, a 33 Ft Viking ship replica, capsized, off the coastal town of Stad, about 346 kilometres (215 miles) from the capital of Oslo, Norway.
The Norwegian Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) rescued the other five passengers, on Tuesday evening.

At approximately 5:45 p.m. local time on Tuesday, the boat sent out a distress signal. After a delayed response, a rescue team arrived about 50 minutes later, where the crew onboard signaled that they were safe, prompting the JRCC team to turn back.
At around 8 p.m., another distress call was issued from the vessel. Local civilian boats arrived at the scene, and reported that the boat had capsized, and five people were found on a life raft, according to the JRCC. The survivors were airlifted to safety, at around 8:50 p.m. local time.
Emergency workers searched, through the night, and found a body on Wednesday morning, after weather conditions improved.

Naddoddur was a Norse Viking, who is credited with the ‘accidental’ discovery of Iceland, while sailing, from Norway to the Faroe Islands.
