Author Eva Røyrane and photographer Oddleiv Apneseth decided to travel along the entire Norwegian coast to find out how our boathouses are actually doing.
As long as people have used boats, boathouses have been needed as shelter from wind and weather. For fishermen, boathouses were just as important as barns, but today things are different. There are many indications that Norwegian boathouses, as cultural and historical landmarks, are in danger of disappearing, and at a rapid pace.

She has also worked at NRK's regional office in Sogn og Fjordane and is currently employed at the University of Bergen. Røyrane has published a number of books on Norwegian building traditions, including the bestsellersNorges låver(Norway's Barns) andAv stein(Of Stone).
