[Middlebridge] Vikingfest Demo/Celtic music

As was reported by Gerhard Folgero, 1926:
    The Viking Ship "Leif Erickson" Was built in Korgen, Northern Norway
according to a drawing from the 12th Century and is a true type of the vessel
that Leif Erickson used in the discovery of America in 997.
   The vessel is 42 ft long, 12 ft 9 inches beam and draws 4 ft of water. The
vessel's dead weight capacity is 12 tons.

    The vessel sailed from Bergen, Norway May 23, 1926 and arrived in Boston
MA on Aug. 12, 1926 afrter covering a distance of 6700 miles.
