EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this lantern slide image of the Wood Quay in Bergen, Norway, dating back to the late 1890s. The serene harbor scene showcases the picturesque waterfront, where traditional wooden fishing boats are gently bobbing against the dock. The quay, lined with lanterns, exudes a warm and inviting glow, reflecting off the calm waters. Bergen, the second largest city in Norway, was once an essential trading hub during the Viking era. This image offers a glimpse into the city's rich maritime history, with its vibrant fishing industry still thriving. The wooden boats, known as "klipper" or "fiskebåter," were a common sight along the quayside, as fishermen sold their fresh catches to local markets and merchants. The Wood Quay, or Torgalmenningen, was a bustling center of activity, where locals and travelers alike gathered to exchange goods, share stories, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. This lantern slide image captures the essence of a bygone era, offering a captivating glimpse into Norway's fascinating past. As you gaze upon this image, imagine the sounds of the lapping waves, the chatter of the crowd, and the aroma of freshly caught fish wafting through the air. Travel back in time and experience the charm and history of Bergen's Wood Quay in the late 1890s.
