The Vicarage Boat House
0
Feel free to take a detour down to the Vicarage boat house and read the sign that is down there. This was the Vicarage’s boathouse and there were many boats moored here when people were arriving for Church. They came ashore here and walked up to Borgstua to get dressed and maybe get a bite to eat before they continued up to the Church. The Priest would also have rowed out from here on his travels. Today, the boat house is protected and a part of the museum. Inside the boatshed you can find amongst other things the ‘Kaarvaaggjeita’ a boat which capsized with four men onboard in 1903, but which was recovered on Smøla a short while later. The story of the wreck and those who lost their lives is one of the stories that is told at the museum today.
