The bay @ Stavanger
vernndwould anybody know the correct name for the bay in which the immigrate ships were harbored in Stavanger? thanks Paul
BorgeThe bay is called "Vågen", the the ships docked at both sides of the bay, there were 3 main wharfs, Strandkaien on the one side, and on the other side Skagenkaien and Skansekaien. On the picture below you can see the S/S Kristianiafjord of the Norwegian America Line docked at Skagenkaien, the tower in the background is "Valbergtårnet"
