About this audio guide
This guide to USF Verftet in Bergen follows one stretch of shoreline on the Puddefjord through more than two centuries of working lives. It starts with two men named Georg and the shipyard they opened in the seventeen eighties, then turns to the sardine cannery whose initials still hang over the door. Best heard standing out on the pier, facing the water.
