The Hermes II, initially constructed in 1917 for cargo transport, including fish, coal, animals, and construction materials, later expanded its repertoire to include shrimp and capelin fishing. After meticulous restoration from 2016 to 2019, it rightfully earned certification as a preservation masterpiece. In 2021, our dedication to preserving this vessel earned us the esteemed Tromsø Culture Community Award.
