Southern view
This picture show you the southern
part of Hasseløy and Risøy (left behind) with the large
industry hall of ABB, former locally owned as HMV. Far behind we
can see part of Karmøy and Storasund. Between the industy hall and
the Karmøy tanks the strait Karmsund is one of the most important
waterways of Norway, connecting Boknafjord and Sletta. 1000 years ago it
had a name that later on had been adopted as the name of our country: Norvegen
(Norway - Norwegen i german).
All left left we may see
part of an old packhouse owned by Osmund Hamre. Is was used for wooden
barrel production up to the 1970's.
The old houses on the island
has been used for different purposes, and are part of the old heritage
of Haugesund.
Just left of this scenery
we find the well known Inner quay and Smedasundet area. The waterway close
is northern Smedasund.
