Olaf T. Engvig has published numerous titles in both Norwegian and English, primarily on subjects related to maritime history.
His latest book, Viking to Victorian: Exploring the Use of Iron in Ship Building, enlists sailing adventure,
personal heritage, and practical skills in an academic examination of iron's impact on maritime history.
He uses authentic ships and cultural traditions to forge a new preservation methodology in a vividly illustrated,
untraditional reference work.

If you're interested in maritime history, you might also be interested in novels from J. A. Hunsinger.
Axe of Iron is a continuing series of historical fiction tales about a medieval people whose lives are surprisingly like ours.
They have the same basic desires for happiness, love, food, and shelter that have dominated the thoughts of generations of cultures the world over.
This character-driven, historical fiction tells of the adventures of Greenland Vikings as they
struggle to establish a settlement in North America in the face of hostile native opposition.
Axe of Iron: The Settlers is the first in the series and can be purchased
