Besøkt 30. november 2023. «The National Centres for Restoration of Historic Vessels undertake significant work to preserve the skills related to the construction and repair of historic ships, an important element of Norway’s rich maritime heritage. The Norwegian Association for the Safeguarding of Vessels (“Norsk Forening for Fartøyvern”), an NGO representing owners of traditional vessels, has collaborated closely with the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage (“Riksantikvaren”) to develop a plan to safeguard knowledge in these areas. (---) Three vessel restoration centres were established: Bredalsholmen Dokk og fartøyvernsenter in Southern Norway practices traditional craftmanship in the restoration-process of iron and steel vessels and steam boilers, such as riveting and other techniques; Hardanger fartøyvernsenter in Western Norway restores wooden vessels and has expertise in rope making, rigging, blacksmithing, and clinker-built boats and; Nordnorsk Fartøyvernsenter in Northern Norway restores vessels built of wooden boats and Sami vessels and has extensive knowledge of engines and older electronic devices.»
