Wikipedia Leif Ericsson article by Carol E Skog Nordicscripts- Waiting Approval 15 Sept., 2022

Travels and commemoration or else a new Heading "Leif Erickson's Icelandic Descendant"commemorating him"

Genealogy connects Leif Erickson and modern day Captain Gunnar Marel Eggertsson, the Iceland Knarr Project’s visionary.  Gunnar’s mother’s direct 33rd generation ancestor was Þjóðhildur Jörundardóttir, mother of ‘Leifur Eiriksson’. Gunnar Marel like Leifur Eiriksson was schooled in Icelandic Sagas, knew of Barjne’s sighting of land due west and Leif Erickson’s discovery of North American  year1,000.  Growing up in Iceland surrounded by open sea, Gunnar became an adventurous Sea Captain like his ancestor Leif Eiriksson.

Gunnar raised by a few generations of Shipwrights from his father's lineage, used his extensive knowledge of Viking Ship history and construction.  In 1996 he hand-built a replica of the 9th century Gokstad, a preserved Viking Ship discovered in Gokstad near Sandefjord, Norway.

           Gunnar Marel used traditional Norse methods building his replica of the Gokstad Viking ship, naming it, Íslendingur (The Icelander). Probably the same historical Norse methods used building Leifur Eiriksson’s Viking ship.

Approved seaworthy, Captain Gunnar Marel Eggertson sailed  Íslendingur  year 2,000 along the same route, adventured by his ancestor Leifur Eiriksson, from Iceland past Greenland to L’Anse Aux Meadows in New Foundland. Gunnar continued down the North America Coast to NYC past Twin Towers. Gunnar’s journey sailing his Viking shipÍslendingur,  commemorated ‘Leifur Eiriksson's’ 1,000^th anniversary historical journey to North America.

           Íslendingur  is permanently exhibited in Vikingaheimer (Viking World) Museum in Iceland. https://www.vikingworld.is  Iceland bestowed Captain Gunnar Marel Eggertson with the "Order of Falcon," for his many accomplishments with Viking ships; “the highest, most revered Honor, Iceland confers.”

           A strong connection to Leif Erickson’s sailed exploration to North American is the Norse Knarr ship. Historically, Knarr ships were the largest cargo carrier merchant Viking ships. Knarr's were exceptionally sea-worthy, capable of traveling 75 miles (121 km) per day. Iceland's history reveals Leifur Eiriksson would have sailed a Viking merchant Knarr Ship to North America, as Knarr merchant ships are deeper and wider than other Viking ships. Knarr's are able to carry a crew of 10-20 people, livestock and their goods. Iceland's history notes Norse Knarr ships transported about 15,000 Norse settlers to Iceland during 874-930, the 'Icelandic Age of Settlement.

‘Iceland Knarr’, is Captain Gunnar Marel Eggertsson’s current Viking ship project, honoring his adventurous ancestor Leifur Eiriksson.  Gunnar will build a full-scale replica of the 'Hedeby 3 Knarr' Viking merchant ship, discovered in Hedeby Harbor in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany in 1980.  Gunnar’s 'Iceland Knarr' shall be hand built with the same Norse type materials, using the Scandinavian clinker tradition (lapstrake). Lapstake is the same ancient Norse manner the 'Hedeby 3 Knarr' Viking merchant ship was constructed, as would a Knarr ship Leifur Eiriksson sailed.

Hedeby (now Germany) was a Norse settlement were Knarr ships were hand built. When Captain Gunnar's 'Iceland Knarr’ ship is completed, he will sail the historic journey from Hedeby to Iceland, as many Norse settlers to Iceland sailed. Gunnar plans to build “Iceland Knarr’ without any modern navigation instruments, as he built and sailed Íslendingur.  

Gunnar will prove the Knarr's excellent Viking Ship sailing capabilities in difficult seas. Gunnar’s planned modern re-enactment of Knarr’s seaworthiness, will enforce how a Knarr ship allowed his ancestor Leifur Eiriksson’s exploratory sail from Iceland, past Greenland to Newfoundland. Leifur Eiriksson and his modern day decendant Gunnar Marel Eggertsson are commendable. Both influenced by their Icelandic Sagas, became adventurers, explorers, and courageous Captains of the high seas.   https://www.icelandknarr.com Nordicscripts (talk) 22:10, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello Nordicsripts, as long as you have appropriately rewritten the material in your own words, you should be ok. I am currently very busy, but if you need help consider visiting the WP:TEAHOUSE where others will be able to help you in detail. I'd also recommend reading over WP:CITE so that you get a good idea of what the best ways to add references to the article are. Best of luck. TylerBurden (talk) 09:25, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Leif Ericsson's Descendant Captain Gunnar Marel Eggertsson Commemorates him

Genealogy connects Leifur Eiricksson (note 1 Modern Icelandic spelling) and Iceland’s modern day Captain Gunnar Marel Eggertsson, the ‘Iceland Knarr’ project’s visionary. Gunnar showed me his handcrafted model of a Viking Knarr ship, 29 May 2015 at ‘Vikingaheimer’ in Iceland. Gunnar believed Leifur sailed a Knarr ship, in search of land due west. Gunnar Marel stated his mother’s direct 33rd generation ancestor was Þjóðhildur Jörundardóttir, Eric the Red’s wife, mother of ‘Leifur Eiriksson,’ the fact discovered by an Icelandic Genealogist. (72 Gunnar Marel Eggertsson, 73 Scandinavian Review, Gunnar Marel Eggertsson, Modern Day Viking, Jennifer Marin, American Scandinavian Foundation Winter 2001)

Gunnar Marel and Leifur Eiriksson were schooled in Icelandic Sagas. “The Grœnlendinga” saga states, when blown off course fisherman Bjarni Herjulfsson’s sighted land due west.(74 Vikings, The North American Saga, Edited by William W. Fitzhugh and Elisabeth I Ward, 2000 Smithsonian Institute,Gisli Sigurdsson, pgs 219 - 220 ) Leif Erickson adventurous set sail discovering land due west circa 1,000, now identified as L’Anse Aux Meadows, New Foundland North American. (75 The Vikings, Lord of the Seas, Yves Cohat, 1992 Abrahms Discoveries pg 158-159) Norwegian Archeologists Helge Ingstad and his wife explored L’Anse Aux meadows in the 1960’s. They discovered, then excavated Viking Longhouses during the 1960’s and 70’s. They found archeological objects believed from Leifur Eiriksson and his Viking ship crewmen. (76 Vikings, The North American Saga, Edited by William W. Fitzhugh and Elisabeth I Ward, 2000 Smithsonian Institute,Birgitta Linderoth Wallace, pgs 219 - 220) (L'Anse Aux Meadows is a National Heritage Site and UNESCO)

Growing up in Iceland surrounded by open sea, Gunnar became an adventurous Sea Captain like his ancestor Leif Eiriksson. Gunnar shared he was raised by a few generations of Shipwrights from his father's lineage. He used his extensive knowledge of Viking Ship history and their construction in 1996, hand-building a replica of the 9th century Gokstad, a preserved Viking Ship discovered in Gokstad near Sandefjord, Norway, now housed in a Norwegian Museum. (77 https://www.khm.uio.no › english › visit-us › viking-ship-museum › exhibitions › gokstad)

Gunnar Marel used traditional Norse methods building his replica of the Gokstad Viking ship, naming it, Íslendingur (The Icelander). Probably the same historical Norse methods used building Leifur Eiriksson’s Viking ship. Approved seaworthy, Captain Gunnar Marel Eggertson sailed Íslendingur year 2,000 along the understood route, ventured by his ancestor Leifur Eiriksson, departing Iceland past Greenland to L’Anse Aux Meadows in New Foundland. Gunnar further sailed down the North America Coast, stopping at various ports, ending in NYC harbor sailing past the Twin Towers. Gunnar’s journey sailing his Viking ship Íslendingur, commemorated ‘Leifur Eiriksson's’ 1,000th anniversary of his historical journey discovering North America. (78 https://www.iamreykjavik.com › islendingur-viking-ship )

Íslendingur is permanently exhibited in Vikingaheimer (Viking World) Museum in Iceland. Íslendingur’s bow looks out the windowed wall, toward a statue of Leifur Eirikison set upon a jetty. [79 https://www.vikingworld.is/ https://www.vikingworld.is]. Iceland Officials bestowed Captain Gunnar Marel Eggertson with the "Order of Falcon," for his many accomplishments as Captain, adventurer, and builder of Viking ships; “the highest, most revered Honor, Iceland confers.” (80 https://www.forseti.is/en/the-order-of-the-falcon/history-of-the-order/ )

A strong connection to Leifur Eirickson’s sailed exploration to North American is the Norse merchant Knarr ship. Historically, Knarr ships were the largest cargo merchant Viking ships, believed used in Leifur’s finding and colonizing of L’Anse Aux Meadows, New Foundland. (81 https://about-history.com › knar-the-oldest-norse-merchant-ship)

Knarr's were exceptionally sea-worthy, capable of traveling 75 miles (121 km) per day. Iceland's history reveals Leifur Eiriksson would have sailed a Viking merchant Knarr Ship to North America, as Knarr merchant ships are deeper and wider than other Viking ships. Knarr's were able to carry a crew of 10-30 people, livestock, food, water and personal goods. Iceland's history notes Norse Knarr ships transported about 15,000 Norse settlers to Iceland during 874-930, the 'Icelandic Age of Settlement. (82 The Vikings, Lord of the Seas, Yves Cohat, 1992 Abrahms Discoveries pg 83(, (84 History of the Vikings, Gwyn Jones, pgs 269-282)

‘Iceland Knarr’, is Captain Gunnar Marel Eggertsson’s current Viking ship project, honoring his adventurous ancestor Leifur Eiriksson. Gunnar will build a full-scale replica of the 'Hedeby 3 Knarr' Viking merchant ship. It is the largest intact Knarr discovered in Hedeby Harbor(Haithabu), Schleswig-Holstein, Germany,1980. Gunnar’s 'Iceland Knarr' shall be hand built with the same Norse type materials, using the Scandinavian clinker tradition (lapstrake). Lapstake is the same ancient Norse manner the 'Hedeby 3 Knarr' Viking merchant ship was constructed, as would a Knarr ship Leifur Eiriksson sailed. True to Viking ships seaworthiness, Gunnar will build the ‘Iceland Knarr’ without any modern navigation instruments, as he built, then sailed Íslendingur.

Hedeby (83 https://www.historyhit.com › locations › hedeby-viking-museum) was an historic Norse settlement and trading area on the southern Jutland peninsula, were Knarr ships were hand built. Norse Hedeby had access via Schiel to the Baltic and North Sea. Hedeby, now Schleswig-Holstein area of Germany is where Gunnar Marel plans to build “Iceland Knarr’. When Captain Gunnar's 'Iceland Knarr’ ship is completed, he will sail the historic journey from Hedeby to Iceland, as many Norse settlers sailed during ‘Iceland’s historic Settlement’ period. The Norse trading area Hedeby was ruled by both Danish, then Swedish Kings during this period.

Gunnar will prove the Viking Knarr's ship excellent sailing capabilities in difficult seas. Gunnar’s planned modern re-enactment of Knarr’s seaworthiness, will enforce how a Knarr ship allowed his ancestor Leifur Eiriksson’s exploratory sail from Iceland, past Greenland to Newfoundland. Leifur Eiriksson and his modern day decendant Gunnar Marel Eggertsson are both commendable. Both Leifur and Gunnar influenced by their historical Icelandic Sagas, became adventurers, explorers, and courageous Captains of the high seas. https://www.icelandknarr.com Nordicscripts (talk) 22:42, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
