Another vessel in the Erikson fleet originally built as a sail-training vessel was the 2,670 gross ton barque Viking. Built in 1906 for the Danish Schoolship Association, she was bought by Erikson in 1929 and is seen here off Cardiff with a cargo of grain from Australia in June 1939. She survives as a schoolship at Göteborg, Sweden. (Source: Shipping at Cardiff: Photographs from the Hansen Collection 1920-1975 by David Jenkins, 1993).
