THE NORDNAUSTET BOATHOUSE 01

Today the Nordnaustet Boathouse is used for exhibiting older boats and fishing equipment. The house was constructed between 1877 and 1888 and was used for storing larger sailing vessels, such the “åttring”. It has its name from the name of the region “Nordland”. During the busiest seasons it was not uncommon that the boathouse also served as living quarters for fishermen. The boathouse nearly collapsed during  the autumn storms in 2003, but is now repaired. next>>
