Description
A sailboat sits along the docks in Bryggen, the old wharf of Bergen where its long maritime history in shipping and finance began. In the early Middle Ages Bergen was isolated from the rest of Norway. But it became an important seaport and a member of the Hanseatic League as well as Norway's capital. As it grew, the city was opened to Europe, with a large fleet of wooden sailing ships carrying dried cod to the European markets, mainly in Italy, Spain & Portugal, for their bacalao and stoccafisso dishes.
