Mellemværftet is a shipyard virtually unaltered from the last days of working sail in Norway. Commercial operations began in 1856 when master shipwright Nils Peder Holm founded what he called “Mellemværftet”, the “Middle Shipyard”, since it lay between two older shipyards. Ship repair and maintenance has been going on here longer than that however, since the area where the yard lies has been used for beaching and repairing coastal craft at least since the 18th century.
