Lofoten cutter
The Lofoten cutter is a class of Norwegian cutter that was active in the fishing service in Norway and was developed in the Lofoten area .
The ships measure around 15 meters and are suitable for rough seas. A characteristic appearance is a white stripe over the natural, oiled freeboard . From the 1930s onwards, they were usually also equipped with a marine diesel or auxiliary engine. Many of the ships actually come from small shipyards in the North Cape . The Lofoten cutter Solvang , for example, was commissioned in 1930 in Rognan in Saltdalen ( Nordland ) south of Lofoten and served as a fishing cutter until 1973.
