Ferry
A ferry is a ship, watercraft or amphibious vehicle used to carry passengers, and sometimes vehicles and cargo, across a body of water. A passenger ferry with many stops, such as in Venice, Italy, is sometimes called a water bus or water taxi. Ferries form a part of the public transport systems of many waterside cities and islands, allowing direct transit between points at a capital cost much lower than bridges or tunnels. Ship connections of much larger distances (such as over long distances in water bodies like the Mediterranean Sea) may also be called ferry services, and many carry vehicles. History In ancient times The profession of the ferryman is embodied in Greek mythology in Charon, the boatman who transported souls across the River Styx to the Underworld. Speculation that a pair of oxen propelled a ship having a water wheel can be found in 4th century Roman literature "''Anonymus De Rebus Bellicis''". Though impractical, there is no reason why it could not ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vestfjorden (Norway)
Vestfjorden is a long fjord or oceanic sea in Nordland county, Norway.

The Vestfjord flows from the area near the town of Narvik to the west and southwest. The mouth of the Vestfjord is about wide, roughly running from the mainland town of Bodø to the islands of Røstlandet and Værøya to the northwest of Bodø. The Vestfjord is famous for its cod fishery, which was exploited back to the early medieval period.

List Of Regions Of Norway
Norway is commonly divided into five major geographical regions (''landsdeler''). These regions are purely geographical, and have no administrative purpose. However, in 2017 the government decided to abolish the current counties of Norway (''fylker'') and to replace them with fewer, larger administrative regions (''regioner''). The first of these new areas came into existence on 1 January 2018, when Nord-Trøndelag and Sør-Trøndelag merged to form Trøndelag. According to most definitions, the counties of Norway are divided into the following regions (these groupings are approximate): *Northern Norway (''Nord-Norge''/''Nord-Noreg'') ** Troms og Finnmark **Nordland *Trøndelag (alt. ''Midt-Norge''/''Midt-Noreg'') **Trøndelag * Western Norway (''Vestlandet'') ** Møre og Romsdal **Vestland **Rogaland * Southern Norway (''Sørlandet'' or ''Agder'') ** Agder * Eastern Norway (''Østlandet''/''Austlandet'') **Vestfold og Telemark ** Viken **Innlandet **Oslo The division into re ...
