Viking lollystick longboat sails


The Sea Heart Ship project was backed by OLA ice cream

A replica Viking longboat made out of 15 million ice cream sticks has been launched in Amsterdam harbour.

The ship was painstakingly glued together by former Hollywood stuntman Robert McDonald and two friends - a job that took two years.

The sticks were collected by children all over the world. Mr McDonald is claiming the world record for the biggest boat made that way.

He hopes to sail the 15m (50ft) ship across the Atlantic.

I would not want to be far from land!

Boats are not totally rigid objects!
