Arendals Boat Shipyard Bild Collection UMFA53408: 0001 0053 Rör Arendals Boat Shipyard. The shipyard was located on Hisingen, middle of Älvsborg's new fortress where Älvsborgshamnen in Gothenburg is located today. Information about the picture collection has been willingly made available by Bengt Olsson, son of the shipyard owner and boatbuilder Hjalmar Olsson operated for 49 years (1920-1969) Arendals Båtvarv together with his brother David. Over the years, they received an extremely good reputation both in Sweden and abroad for their high -quality work. Many large sailing siblings over the years bald through the shipyards for a long life at sea (and a high second -hand value) .david was the great wood artist while Hjalmar managed everything else that is going for the business to go well. Alongside this, he made a name as a designer. With his drawing pin, he managed to transfer the work boats of the old folk culture with his coarse lake boxes to the most beautiful little sailing vessels where you could clearly recognize everything that was good in the old line of the new Line that Hjalmar worked out by virtue of his great knowledge. However, not many of their own constructions were built on Arendal's boat yard. There the floor area was coated with larger construction. But during these years there were a number of smaller turns up the Bohuslän coast and the right size to build Christmas and kosterboats, which were Hjalmar's specialty. The Sailing Society's great interest in the Christmas classes came to be of great importance for the spread of this boat type. The strict building regulations guaranteed long life and a good second -hand value, which has at all times been appreciated by buyers. [The Bohuslän Museum Archives includes drawings from Arendal's boat yards under archive number 242.] The drawing numbering is not the original. There was no such thing. Now it is instead organized by year and divided into kosterboats
