In the small Illinois town of Geneva, forty miles outside of Chicago and nearly a thousand miles from the nearest ocean, a longboat lies at rest. She is the last of her kind to navigate across the North Atlantic. In 1893 she sailed alone from Norway to Chicago, crewed by 12 brave men, bent on a mission to prove that the Norse not Columbus were the first Europeans to find and settle the Americas. She attracted thousands at the Worlds Columbian Exhibition, the Chicago Worlds Fair of 1893. She has sailed the Mississippi River to New Orleans. She has spent decades docked near what is now Chicagos Museum of Science and Industry, has been sheltered under a wooden structure in the citys Lincoln Park. Today, she rests in Good Templar Park, Geneva, under a canopy. The State of Illinois has listed her as one of the states 10 most endangered landmarks. But she is protected by Friends of the Viking Ship, an organization dedicated to her preservation. Hundreds see her every year, and learn about her construction, her adventures, and the ongoing efforts to preserve her. Her name is Viking.
