MARKET DAY WITH s/s VIKING (c. 1900)

On market days in Byxelkrok and the surrounding harbours, the arrival of the steamship was a major event. Well-dressed ladies and gentlemen mingled with local farmers trading livestock and farm produce. This photograph shows a market day at Alvedsjöbodar, with Blå Jungfrun on the horizon and the steamship s/s Viking alongside the quay.
