Ship O'hoi + a little more

Leif Brestrup retired as director of the Foundation The Ship Sørlandet and retired at the age of 67. His period as director was 2001 - 2010. Here you will find a document that describes a little from that period and a lot of other relevant material.

The enclosed letter is intended to give the reader an overview of the types of boats and ships through the ages in Norway, as well as a little about rigging and sailing. In particular, it deals with our three former school ships for young boys for the merchant fleet, the barge riggers "Statsraad Lehmkuhl", "Christian Radich", and "Sørlandet". The last section is a presentation of the Foundation The Ship Sørlandetwhich is rounded off with a series of pictures of the ship's activities from 2001-2010.

Gold of the forest to pride of the sea - Over one hundred year old pine gets new life at Sørlandet

When the Norwegian The Ship Sørlandet needed a new ship's deck, a very special material was found in the forests around Elverum. The centuries-old pine forest there contains trees with a core of naturally impregnated wood, perfect for withstanding the marine environment. This "gold timber", as it was called, is the result of several generations of forestry and natural growing conditions.
