Hringhorni
In
Norse mythology, Hringhorni is the name of the ship of
Baldr, described as the "greatest of all ships". According to
Gylfaginning, following the murder of Baldr by
Loki the other
gods brought his body down to the sea and laid him to rest on the ship. They would have launched it out into the water and kindled a funeral pyre for Baldr but were unable to move the great vessel without the help of the
giantess Hyrrokkin, who was sent for out of
Jötunheim. She then flung the ship so violently down the rollers at the first push that flames appeared and the earth trembled, much to the annoyance of
Thor.
