KORSOER HAVN - HISTORY

    The 23rd. August 1797 was a watershed for Korsoer Harbour Board.
    Until that date the fate of the Harbour had been in the hands of more 
    or less competent Municipal officials and the result was what one
    could expect.

    Korsoer Harbour got its first Harbour commission; it consisted of the
    Major, who was chairman, a Naval Officer and a Post Official as well
    as two men selected from among the town citizens. The Harbour
    Master was responsible to the Harbour Commission. 

    Such and much more can be read in Korsoer Harbour and Shipping
    History 1790 to 1939. Published by the Museum Association in Korsoer.
    That was the background for the  Korsoer Town Councils decision  
    to celebrate Korsoer Harbours 200 year anniversary in 1997.

    Korsoer Harbour published in that connection:
    Et Sikkert Ly (A Safe Haven) highlights of Korsoer Harbors’  
    history spanning 200 years.
