Viking Long Boat Urn in Action — Video
We know a lot of you like the Viking Boat Urn. We also know that many want to know what it looks like and how it works. So we took one out to the beautiful Blagdon Lake in Somerset to show you.
Here is the video.
The boats are hand made to be fully biodegradable from sustainable wood sources.
This video has been cut down the actual duration was 9 minutes 30 seconds although we can’t guarantee timings as it is dependant on many thing, but mainly the weather and how calm the water is – the more choppy the faster it takes on water and the faster it will sink. We do build buoyancy into the design, but this isn’t an exact science. Particularly when fire is involved.
I have not put any music on the video for two reasons, firstly I could not think of the right piece, but mainly because when I watched it I thought the noise of the birds and the calm serenity was beautiful enough. However, I am open to suggestions…

Gosh I think the chap did, but it was so long ago I couldn’t be sure I am afraid.

Do the boats disintegrate? I would hate to be leaving anything in our lovely waters
Yes Rachael
The boats are wood and will break down over time. We would not sell them if we thought we were causing pollution.
Kind regards
