MINNESOTA WATERWAY

THE Minnesota waterway provided a water link between the 
Red River and the Mississippi River. Large heavy boats weighing 
about a ton and holding 30 or more men could be pulled on water 
to a lake at an altitude above the north-south continental divide. 
Then the crews rowed down stream from the Red River watershed 
into the Mississippi River water shed.

Thirteen Norse Ships lie along the Minnesota Waterway.

Sherm Hilgren of Ancient Vikings America, Yahoo group, wrote on Jan 11, 2012: "To 'solve' this puzzle or 'prove' the theory that Vinland is in Minnesota and that there were Vikings here would take a major discovery like that ancient Viking longship. It needs to be irrefutable proof so the archaeologists can see and touch before they give a seal of approval."

Then Sherm gave a list of 15 locations where Norse ships have been found in Minnesota. Most observers would agree that thirteen locations are in the the Minnesota waterway, which was previously identified by Holand in 1928. Hollan's Minnesota waterway was put into the Lenape Epic Blog on August 18, 2011.

There are reports of 13 Norse Ships in the Minnesota Waterway

Observers might think that this supporting testimony for the Minnesota waterway will compel Social Scientists to re-examine the accumulating evidence and testimony, which are "irrefutable proof" that Norse were in Minnesota 250 years before the English invasion in 1607.
