Reminds me of a Viking long ship
Martin Dyb said:
correct spelling is Nordlandsbåt -- Seen in your Photochrom Travel Views set. (?)

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

It's outside Svolvær in Lofoten

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.

I just wonder if Kaiser Wilhelms fotographer, Dreesen, are the man behind those pictures.

Disse bildene har jeg holdt i hånda! Mulig jeg tar feil, men mener å huske de ble 'funnet' i skapet i Billedsamlingen etter å ha ligget der urørt lenge. Jeg jobbet der 2001-4. Fint at dere har sortert dem i Set etter fylke. :) Prosessen er også interessant!
