Dear Mr. Corwell – I have been thoroughly enjoying your books. I just came across the last sentence in chapter 2 of “The Pale Horseman”, where the Eftwyrd was renamed the Fyrdraca. You might be interested to know that a local medieval seafaring organization in Maryland had a 32 footlap-strake longship. It was named…you guessed it…Fyrdraca. A picture of the vessel and additional information can be found on their website, at http://longshipco.org/. Thanks again for sharing your writing with us. Jim Kneale
