Svendborg

 

Svendborg - a seafaring town - have for generations housed boat builders and shipyards for wooden ships – the first can be traced back to medieval times.

A substantial part of the proud sailing ships of times past were built in and based in Svendborg. In 1890 70% of all Danish vessels were registered in South Funen. Even today the town is a very active maritime town and next to Copenhagen the town has most of the Danish based ship owners, brokers and technical offices.

A major part of seamen get their training at Svendborg. Maritime training establishments have based their activities here. In fact navigational training started already in 1820. Over the years a number of schools came to Svendborg. A huge number of good seafarers, cadets, navigators and captains have started their career here.
