Скачать или смотреть The Chalk house dock - Holmen & Robertsen

The Chalk House Dock is a place where Svein Harald spent much of his childhood. Largely unused since 1973, the site has a long and storied past. Dating back to the 1800s, it first served as a steamboat expedition dock, later becoming a cod liver oil distillery. After that, one of Vardø’s best line fishermen had his base here.

In 2023, Svein Harald purchased the property and began restoring the docks. By 2025, restoration work started on the Chalk House itself. The goal is to bring new life to the historic site by transforming it into a small factory for hand-cut fish, operated by Holmen & Robertsen, honoring local tradition, craftsmanship, and heritage.
