  All these FSA pictures of the South Water freight terminal are amazing. The Hibbard, Spencer building to the right was later known at the Encylopedia Brittanica building and for a while housed part of the Chicago Public Library. It has since been torn down.

  Reminds me of a Viking long ship

• Martin Dyb said:

  correct spelling is Nordlandsbåt -- Seen in your Photochrom Travel Views set. (?)

• Ingeborg Volan said:

  And, for clarification, "Nordlandsbåt" is the name of this kind of ship, not a geographical location.

• Tora Alexandersen said:

  It's outside Svolvær in Lofoten

• mammoth club said:

  Greeboe, you are very right. The "nordlandsbåt" is considered to be a direct descendant of the Viking long ships. It comes in many sizes and regional variants, but they all look very similar. I believe the type shown on this picture was used in the annual Lofoten cod-fishing campaign, way into the 20th century. A few local boat-builders still do variants of the "nordlandsbåt" today.
