Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey<\/a> is finally out this weekend, but one of the film’s most impressive parts wasn’t created with CGI or built on a studio set.<\/p>\n

The enormous Viking ship featured in the film is the Draken Harald H\u00e5rfagre,\u00a0a genuine, ocean-going Norse longship that’s fully operational and still making voyages today.<\/p>\n
