So far, the boat builders have put up a template of the ship’s keel and bow on the shipyard site to get an idea of ​​how big the ship will actually be and to signal that they will soon start building another reconstruction of Skuldelev 5 out in the yard.

Another? Was there a prior reconstruction? That would be interesting to see without the 5 year wait.

Here’s one done in 1893 and sailed from Norway to Chicago. Seems it is still there in Illinois. I recently listed to a podcast about it.
