Ice-cream stick ship sets sail

A replica Viking boat, made out of 15 million ice-cream sticks, finally sets sail from the Netherlands for London.

The 15-metre long boat, named "Thor", took captain Robert McDonald, his son and over 5000 schoolchildren four years to build. After visiting Britain, McDonald hopes to follow in the wake of the Vikings and cross the Atlantic, sailing to North America via Iceland and Greenland.
