The Wooden Boat Festival 2023

Last year, Victorian Days initiated a collaboration with the West Coast Wooden Boat Association. This year, we visited their fantastic Wooden Boat Festival in Skärhamn. We were stationed in a tent alongside the Rope Maker's Museum, among others, sharing what Victorian Days is all about. It was a successful day with many distributed flyers and program brochures.

The day ended with a nice dinner where all the wooden boat owners who participated in the event were invited. We also invited them to our event and hope that many beautiful wooden boats will grace Marstrand during the Victorian Days.

"Ramneklovan" becomes "Kungsklyftan"

In 1887, King Oscar II visited Fjällbacka to see the famous ravine. After his visit, the ravine's name was changed from "Ramneklovan" to "Kungsklyftan" (The King's Ravine).

We visited the ravine on a lovely June afternoon. If you search carefully, you might find Oscar's signature somewhere inside the ravine. We didn't find it!

Lecture with Herman Lindqvist

Author and historian Herman Lindqvist will be visiting Marstrands Havshotell on May 25th with a lecture about King Oscar II. The lecture starts at 6:00 PM and costs 200 SEK per person. The price includes the lecture, a glass of non-alcoholic sparkling wine, and light snacks for mingling.

The Victorian Days will participate in the event with a surprise.
