An American woman has died after a replica Viking ship she was in capsized during a tourist voyage to Norway.
Archeologist Karla Dana, 29, from Florida, has been named as the victim aboard the Naddodur vessel, which launched from the Faroe Islands four days earlier.
Six people were aboard the ship when it encountered rough seas on Tuesday, however only five emerged on a inflatable life raft that was saved by a helicopter.
The boat sent out a distress signal on Tuesday, but a helicopter to the area determined it was a false alarm, Norwegian outlet VG reported.
Around an hour after the initial distress signal was launched, a second alert triggered a larger search of the area – around 60 miles from the Norwegian coast – which found Dana’s body on Wednesday close to where the boat capsized.
