About this audio guide
This guide to Donsö, an island in the Gothenburg archipelago, looks past the wooden houses and fishermen's huts to the islanders who decided, after the Second World War, that fish was not the only thing a boat could carry. It follows an old canal boat with an unromantic name and the four men behind it. Best heard on the harbour front, with the pier and the old ice house in view.
