The Ship's Smithy

The collaboration between the shipbuilder and the ship’s blacksmith was crucial in traditional shipbuilding. The shipbuilder was responsible for the construction and woodworking, while the blacksmith supplied the metal components that gave the ship its strength.

 

In the smithy, you can see the blacksmith’s workplace with the forge, fuel, and equipment needed to forge tools and ship parts, as well as essential items for the property and everyday life in Bratteklev.
