📋 About This Mod
This mod brings back the Drakkars (the type of boat used by Skelligers) into the Kaer Trolde Harbor, so you can walk around and play with them and look cool and fulfill your e3 fantasy or whatever, just making the harbor more interesting overall. They are actually used in the game during the quest "q210_precanaris" but they despawn under certain conditions, this mod just makes them show up permantly.
