Our Viking Ship

In 2005, the 100-year anniversary of Las Vegas’s founding and of the founding of modern Norway, the lodge constructed a Viking ship, named Ormen Korte, which it enters every year in the popular Sons and Daughters of Erin St. Patrick’s Day Parade in downtown Henderson. The ship, whose construction was overseen by Robert L. “Bob" Sturgeon, is also featured at school events, special occasions, and the popular three-day Age of Chivalry Renaissance Festival, which the members attend in Viking garb. At 2022’s renaissance festival, more than 2,000 people climbed aboard the ship to pose for pictures.
