Summary

Description
English: Photographer:, Bodø. Photo taken in about 1895. Linen laundery in front and Sandtorgholmen tradecentre behind. The person on the photo is handyboy Kristian Agersborg from Evenskjer. From the early 13th century there was a tradingpost at Sandtorgholmen. This location became more important in the late 18th century when pilot services was added for foreign and local ships. The trading post continued to be a focal point of Sandtorg until 1945 when the Norwegian Army's communication services took over the facilities after the German occupation (1940-45). The army returned Sandtorgholmen to civilian use in the 1990s. Today the Sandtorgholmen trading post features a hotel with a harbor restaurant and meeting facilities.
