Mellemværftet
A wooden boatyard in operation since the 18th century, preserving old slipways, a blacksmith shop and steam engines. It is one of the best-preserved old shipyards in Norway.
Mellemværftet is on the shore of Nordlandet island. From the 1850s to the 1980s it built and repaired wooden boats and fishing vessels. It is now managed by the Nordmøre Museum and preserves its slipways, forging workshop, sawmill and old machinery, with craftsmen demonstrating traditional boatbuilding in summer. It can be visited together with the Clipfish Museum, as both are on the harbor. Open in summer, admission is about 100 NOK. Take the Sundbåten ferry and disembark at a nearby quay.
