One summer (c. 1061) Haraldr harðráði harries in Denmark with a small fleet when Sveinn Úlfsson comes upon him unawares. Haraldr escapes by pulling his ships across the land between Limfjorden and the North Sea in Jylland (Jutland).
For pulling or dragging ships across land from one body of water to another, see Note to Sturl Hrafn 13/1-4. See also ÍF 28, 140 n. 1 for a discussion of this particular episode.
