Summary[edit]

Description

Replica of a gunboat, named Øster Riisøer 3. Two previous gunboats were named Øster Riisøer, early in the 19th century, when this boat-type was widely used to defend Denmark and Norway, after the shared fleet of the united countries had been confiscated by the Royal Navy at Copenhagen in september 1807. The design was originally by Chapman of Sweden.

The photo is taken during a reconstruction of a battle at Alvøen, outside Bergen in Norway, 200 years after the incident between 4 gunboats and a gunsloop of the Norwegian navy, and HMS Tartar of the Royal Navy.
