During the True Northern Arts Festival, you can step aboard Anna Rogde, the world’s oldest sailing schooner, built in 1868. The ship will be moored along the harbour promenade outside SNN Park throughout the festival week.
History along the quayside
Anna Rogdes Venner invites audiences to an open schooner and café on board. Here, you can go up on deck, experience the historic vessel up close and enjoy a cup of coffee or something good to eat.
A pause by the sea
The ship has been part of Northern Norwegian coastal culture for more than 150 years. Now you can experience living maritime history in the heart of the festival town – whether you want to take a quiet break, catch the scent of tar and ropework, or simply see Harstad from the deck.
Open every day: 11:00–17:00
Venue: The harbour promenade outside SNN Park
This event is for you if you:
- are curious about coastal culture and maritime stories
- want to experience a genuine 19th-century sailing vessel
