winter in Brekkestø - a photo on Flickriver

            Brekkestø started off as a protected harbour for the Stutthei-farms in early 17th century, mainly due to the threats of Dutch pirates and corsairs.

During the time of sailing ships in the 18th and 19th century, Brekkestø the most commonly used winter harbour on the south coast along the Skaggerak. The harbour saw ships from many Northern European countries, and it was common that they had to wait several months before they could continue their journey. They were waiting for good weather and sailing conditions, and for the ice to disappear, or they were waiting for cargo.
In the winter of 1862, there were 92 sailing ships in the harbour, so it was said that they could walk safely from island to island. 
Ship traffic created a lot of activity, and there were shops, apartments, hotels and duty station in the small outport. wikipedia
