Felixstowe F.1

The Felixstowe F.1 was a British experimental flying boat designed and developed by Lieutenant Commander John Cyril Porte RN at the naval air station, Felixstowe based on the Curtiss H-4 with a new hull. Its design led to a range of successful larger flying boats that was assistance in promoting Britain as a leader in this field of aviation.

25613549#1

Felixstowe F.1

Before the war Porte worked with American aircraft designer Glenn Curtiss on a trans-atlantic flying boat. Due to the start of the Great War he returned to England, eventually to command of the naval air station at Felixstowe, Suffolk. Porte decided that the original Curtiss flying-boats that the Royal Navy acquired could be improved and a number of modifications to in-service flying-boats were made. The modifications had a mixed result so Porte using the experience gained, developed with his Chief Technical Officer John Douglas Rennie, a new single-step hull known as the Porte I.

25613549#2

Felixstowe F.1

The Porte I hull used the wings and tail unit of an original H-4 (No.3580) powered by two Hispano-Suiza 8 engines; the new flying boat was designated the Felixstowe F.1. During trials of the F.1 two further steps were added to the hull and a deeper V-shape which greatly improved the performance on take off and landing. Porte went on to design a similar hull, the Porte II for the larger Curtiss H-12 flying boat, which became the Felixstowe F.2.

Sun Records (other companies)

Sun Records has been the name of multiple 20th century record labels, most famously Sun Records, a Memphis-based music label.

25613569#1

Sun Records (other companies)

Jazz saxophonist Frank Wright also started Sun Records (jazz) while living in Paris, France.

25613569#2

Sun Records (other companies)

The first "Sun Records" in Europe were single-sided disc records put out by The Crystalate Gramophone Record Manufacturing Company Ltd. of Tonbridge, Kent, England, from about 1905 to 1910. (The same company would later produce records under the name Imperial Records).

25613569#3

Sun Records (other companies)

A nearly contemporaneous label was produced in the United States by the Leeds & Catlin company, about 1905–1907. The third "Sun Records" was produced by the Sun Record Company of Toronto, Ontario, Canada in the early 1920s. Many or all of the masters pressed were leased from the US-based Okeh Records. There were as many as eight other record companies that preceded and/or were contemporary with the Memphis label Sun Records run by Sam Phillips, the most famous of the companies by that name.

25613569#4

Sun Records (other companies)

The other Sun Records that preceded the Memphis company by nearly forty years in one case, and six years in the other, or even those that were contemporary with it were never as significant to the history of 20th century music as Sam Phillips' little record company that operated out of his Memphis Recording Service. Since Sam had invested in the Holiday Inn Hotel chain earlier, he also recorded artist starting in 1963 on the label Holiday Inn Records for Kemmons Wilson.

25613569#5

Sun Records (other companies)

Two Sun Records were offered on eBay.com in August and September 2006 and were pressed in Germany, probably around 1905–1912, for the Sun Record Company of Bombay, India, and referred to on the label as the Sun Disc Record to differentiate the discs from cylinder records also produced by the company. This Sun Record Company might have been the first to use that name. By 1919 another Sun Record Company came to life in Canada, but it, too, soon disappeared. The Canadian Sun Records were produced by the Sun Record Company of Toronto, Ontario, Canada (a unit of Compo Company Ltd.) in the 1920s. Many or all of the masters pressed were leased from the U.S. based Okeh Records.

25613569#6

Sun Records (other companies)

Another Sun Record, founded in New York City in 1946, was intended as an outlet for Jewish musicians and singers, including the famous Yiddish singer, Herman Yablokoff, whose immensely popular "Papirossen" [Sun 1050] was the top selling record for the label. Billing itself as “The Brightest Thing on Records,” it was already fading into oblivion when the Memphis Recording Service issued its first Sun record in February 1952. But it did contribute one thing, albeit unintentionally, to the Sun Record Company of Memphis, that being the design of the label itself that was copied directly from the New York City-based Sun Record Company. Another label, an Arabic language Sun Record Company came into being at about the same time, but little is known about its history.

25613569#7

Sun Records (other companies)

A legal battle was fought over the name “Sun” between the Memphis Recording Service of Memphis, which was issuing records on the Sun label, and the Sun Recording Company of Albuquerque, New Mexico, also issuing records on the Sun label. Louise Massey, the “Sweetheart of the West” who co-wrote "My Adobe Hacienda" and whose brother wrote the theme song for television’s "Petticoat Junction," among others, was its top artist. The lawsuit was settled in favor of the Memphis-based label, but no one noticed that the name and similar label had been in existence in New York for more than six years. The New York-based Sun Recording Corporation was virtually extinct by then, so even if anyone had noticed, no legal action was taken. The Memphis-based Sun Record Company went on to become the label that brought rock and roll music to the world, enjoying early success with Sun 181, "Bear Cat (The Answer to Hound Dog)" by Rufus Thomas – which also led to Sam Phillips’ second major lawsuit and the record was re-issued with the phrase (The Answer to Hound Dog) deleted. Sun Records in Memphis was sold in 1969 and still operates as Sun Records under the parent company Sun Entertainment Corporation. But the use of the name "Sun Record Company" did not end there. One other "Sun" existed during a slightly later era: the Sun Record Company based in Manila. This company did not attempt to disguise its copying of the Memphis Sun labels and re-issued records released by other American labels, such as Imperial 5528, "Poor Little Fool" written by Eddie Cochran’s fiancée, Sharon Sheeley, which became a massive hit for Ricky Nelson in 1958.

25613569#8

Sun Records (other companies)

Even though Sam Phillips has died, the sun has not yet set on Sun Records. Numerous licenses have been issued to Germany’s Bear Family Records, England’s Charly Records, and other companies to issue and re-issue the Memphis Sun Records, some with the familiar brown on yellow label. Other companies are re-issuing Louise Massey’s recordings from the Albuquerque-based Sun Record Company.

Calico Bush (novel)

Calico Bush is a children's historical novel by Newbery-award-winning author Rachel Field. Considered by some to be her best novel, it was first published in 1931 and received a Newbery Honor award.

25613596#1

Calico Bush (novel)

"Calico Bush" is set on the Maine coast in the pioneer era, and tells the story of Marguerite, a young French orphan who becomes an indentured servant on a farm.

25613596#2

Calico Bush (novel)

Field spent the 1920s summering on Sutton Island, part of Cranberry Isles, Maine. According to Margaret Lane, "The inspiration for "Calico Bush" probably came from the story of Marguerite La Croix, who with her husband, John Stanley, moved from Marblehead after 1767, with their many children and became the first permanent residents of Little Cranberry Island. Just north of the 'Head' their hearthstones still lie undisturbed in the field, and they themselves are buried on Maypole Point." Field did not try to tell the woman's story exactly, but used her as inspiration for her book.

25613596#3

Calico Bush (novel)

The name Calico Bush is used for a Mountain Laurel native to the eastern United States, including Maine. It is also the title of a ballad referred to in the book.

Calico Bush (novel)

Besides receiving the Newbery Honor Award for 1932, "Calico Bush" was well received by critics. "Saturday Review" called it "a really good book, simple in its narrative, meaty, sincere". According to The New York Times, "Adult readers as well as boys and girls will be grateful to Rachel Field for this fine and absorbing tale." Decades later the book was still well-regarded. Children's literature expert May Hill Arbuthnot called "Calico Bush" "unusual and powerful" It is, she said, a "model of sound historical fiction. The picture of the times and the people is not only authentic but unusually balanced."

Elliot D. Coleman

Elliot d'Evereaux Coleman I (May 1, 1881 – May 26, 1963), was a cotton planter and law-enforcement officer who served from 1936 to 1960 as the sheriff of Tensas Parish in northeastern Louisiana. Earlier, he had been a state police bodyguard of U.S. Senator Huey P. Long, Jr., on September 8, 1935, the night of Long's assassination.

25613601#1

Elliot D. Coleman

Coleman was born to Elliot D. Coleman and the Lou Ellen Pollard on the Live Oak Plantation in Waterproof in southern Tensas Parish. He was educated in the Waterproof public schools, which have since closed. Youngsters in Tensas Parish now attend school in the parish seat of St. Joseph.

25613601#2

Elliot D. Coleman

At the age of seventeen, Coleman became a deputy sheriff under W. C. Young, the sheriff from 1880 to 1905 and Coleman's future father-in-law. Coleman served as a justice of the peace and was a member of the Tensas Parish Police Jury, the parish governing body akin to county commissions in other states. He was a delegate to the 1921 Louisiana Constitutional Convention, subsequently superseded by the conclave that met in Baton Rouge in 1973.

25613601#3

Elliot D. Coleman

Coleman was wounded in a shootout in 1900. Three decades later in early September 1931, while still a deputy sheriff under John Hughes and also a parish prohibition agent, Coleman killed Marshall Miller, a white tenant farmer on the Franklin Plantation near Newellton in northern Tensas Parish. Two Miller brothers, Roscoe and Marshall, were suspected of operating an illegal still and had been drinking when Coleman arrived with a constable and an informant named Avery Hollis. Coleman was attempting to take the men into custody of public intoxication. Roscoe surrendered, but Marshall Miller grabbed a shotgun and attempted to kill Hollis, who stood behind a bystander. Amid much confusion, Coleman fired his rifle and killed Marshall Miller. Coleman was cleared of any wrongdoing in the shooting.

25613601#4

Elliot D. Coleman

In 1933, Coleman's junior deputy, Blanton Evans, who had witnessed the shooting of Marshall Miller less than two years earlier, shot another man on liquor charges. While in Newellton, Coleman and Evans had arrested two white men from outside Tensas Parish and began transporting the men to the parish jail in St. Joseph. The two detainees attempted to overpower Evans, who pulled his pistol, fired, and killed one of the men. The shootings in 1931 and 1933 caused some in Tensas Parish to question whether the sheriff's department served at the call of the merchant-planter class and was selectively enforcing the law against low-income whites.

25613601#5

Elliot D. Coleman

As one of the bodyguards of Huey Long, Coleman testified that he twice shot Carl Weiss, the young Baton Rouge physician considered to have been Long's assassin, though the Weiss family has long disputed the official version of events.

25613601#6

Elliot D. Coleman

Coleman was still a prohibition agent when he was elected sheriff in 1936. He defeated his boss, the 30-year incumbent, John Hughes, a son of Irish immigrants whose father had served in the Confederate Army. Hughes was orphaned in 1870 at the age of five and reared by an uncle on a plantation in Tensas Parish. He attended Jefferson College near his birthplace of Natchez, Mississippi, and became a planter and merchant. In 1904, he helped to organize the Bank of Newellton and the next year was elected as sheriff of Tensas Parish to succeed Coleman's father-in-law. The election was complicated by the presence of a third Democratic primary candidate named Dan Morris of Newellton, who made a strong showing and cut into Hughes' base in northern Tensas Parish. Coleman won the position when Hughes declined to pursue a runoff election; Hughes reasoned that much of Morris' votes would likely have switched to Coleman in a second race. Closely identified with the planter aristocracy, Hughes lost support from both political factions when he was trapped during the campaign into denying that he was an opponent of the late Huey Long. While Coleman eas elected sheriff in Tensas Parish 1936, one of his fellow bodyguards at the Long assassination, Larry Sale, was elected that same year sheriff in Claiborne Parish in North Louisiana.

25613601#7

Elliot D. Coleman

After his victory in 1936, Coleman was reelected in 1940, 1944, 1948, 1952, and 1956. In 1960, however, he was unseated by his fellow Democrat William M. "Max" Seaman, the younger brother of Louisiana State Representative J.C. Seaman, also from Waterproof. At the time of his retirement, Coleman was at seventy-nine the oldest serving sheriff in Louisiana. Max Seaman was elected sheriff again in 1964 and 1968 but died in office in October 1968.

25613601#8

Elliot D. Coleman

During his long tenure as sheriff, Coleman directed several attempts to hold the Mississippi River within its levees. At the Tensas Parish centennial ceremony on April 6, 1943, Coleman delivered a speech "High Lights of High Waters", which recounted several occasions during which the river tore through the levees to inundate the alluvial farming area of Tensas and adjoining parishes. On that occasion, then District Attorney Jefferson B. Snyder of Tallulah in neighboring Madison Parish, echoed Coleman's observances, saying that he could recall the time when there were "no levees, no bridges, ferries nor roads, but the richest soil in the world, more fertile than the Valley of the Nile River. It was a hunter's paradise."

25613601#9

Elliot D. Coleman

While serving as sheriff, Coleman was a delegate to the 1948 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which nominated the Truman/Barkley ticket.

25613601#10

Elliot D. Coleman

In 1907, Coleman married the former Jane Young, and the couple had three children, Jane Birdie Coleman (born 1908), Louis Coleman, and Elliot D. Coleman, II. Coleman died in Ferriday in Concordia Parish, from which Tensas Parish was carved in 1843. He is interred at the Natchez City Cemetery in Natchez, Mississippi.

25613601#11

Some Coleman descendants still reside in Tensas Parish. His great-grandson, Elliot Coleman, IV, who was born some four years after Coleman's passing, died in 2009 at the age of forty-two.

Van Brabant's pro career lasted for four seasons. He broke into the minor leagues at age 25 with the 1952 Lincoln A's, winning 14 games, and then captured 16 of 31 decisions the following season with the Williamsport A's. He split between the Triple-A Ottawa Athletics and the parent team in Philadelphia. Van Brabant lost his only two big-league starting assignments, both times to the Boston Red Sox, who defeated him 9–0 on May 31, 1954, and 4–3 on September 21. The two defeats represented his only two decisions in the Major Leagues. As a big leaguer, Van Brabant gave up 39 hits and 20 bases on balls in 28 innings of work, with 11 strikeouts.

Reliant TW9

The Reliant TW9 (i.e., Three-Wheeler 9), also known as the Reliant Ant, is a small, front-engined, rear-drive, three-wheeled truck that was produced from 1967 until 1987 by Reliant Motors in Tamworth, England. Designed and built as a business utility vehicle, it was produced in a number of different versions for various needs.

25613656#1

Reliant TW9

After Reliant's 20-year production run, the Ant continued to be built by other companies under license until 1995. Orders were usually plentiful for the little truck as the Ant was much favoured by municipal councils in the UK and Ireland.

25613656#2

Reliant TW9

"Ant" was the most popular nickname for the TW9 and the truck was eventually marketed under that name. It used a pressed steel chassis designed by Press Mouldings and was styled by Ogle Design with a 701cc inline four-cylinder, four-stroke engine at the front, directly behind the single front wheel. It developed 27.5 bhp (20kW) of power. The four-speed transmission had synchromesh only on the top three gears and the vehicle's unladen weight was 1200 lbs (545 kg). The glass-fibre cabin had space for two and the aerodynamic front had two round headlights and a single windscreen wiper. "Despite its apparent simplicity the cabin design incorporated gentle curves and creases to enhance structural strength. The rear wheels drove the vehicle to a maximum speed of 54 mph (86 km/h)" and delivered fuel consumption of "around 28 mpg".

25613656#3

Reliant TW9

The Ant was not known for being a particularly comfortable vehicle. "Commercial Motor" magazine noted in a 1967 road test that the seats took "the form of fixed cushions with the backrests attached to the back of the cab, offering no adjustment whatever". The magazine said that bucket seats, "with a certain amount of adjustment for drivers of varying heights, could be fitted" and that "modifications could be made" to the cab to make the interior more spacious. One the other hand, "Commercial Motor" complimented the low levels of noise inside the cab, the "sensibly placed" switches and gear-change lever, and found the Ant to be "very manoeuvrable" and simple to park.

25613656#4

Reliant TW9

The first 200 trucks were left-hand drive and built for "the Greek market". By 1972, Reliant's partner in Greece, MEBEA, was building the vehicle under license. The overseas Ant offered a load capacity of 500 kg (1100 lbs) and was intended to compete in Mediterranean countries with vehicles such as Piaggio Ape.

25613656#5

Reliant TW9

For the right-hand drive domestic market, a payload of 800 kg (1760 lbs) was envisaged, but with only 700cc's on tap, the Ant struggled to handle such a large load even with a very low rear axle ratio of 6.5:1. Nonetheless, "Commercial Motor"'s test of an Ant pickup, fully laded with 800 kg of sandbags, found that on a 15-mile motorway round trip the truck averaged 48.5 mph but was capable of 68 mph downhill and 57 mph on flat stretches of road. The magazine asserted that the speeds "did not prove a hindrance to other road-users" but pointed out that "the engine laboured quite a bit" on "even slight inclines". However, "Commercial Motor" did not see this as a significant problem as "it must be remembered that the model was not intended for long-distance work, but for local deliveries".

25613656#6

Reliant TW9

"The price for a chassis and cabin was quoted as ₤451" upon its introduction in 1967. A 748cc engine replaced the 701cc unit in 1972 and the price of a cab-and-chassis rose to ₤582 the same year.

25613656#7

Reliant TW9

Early versions of the Ant used Reliant's 701cc engine, which had "a claimed 27.5 bhp (20 kW) of power" but the 1972 engine capacity increase to 748cc brought power up to 32 bhp (23.5 kW). Performance benefitted and it is possible that newer 848cc Reliant engines may have been retro-fitted in some vehicles. Another source indicates that after 1975 Reliant itself fitted its 848cc, 45 bhp engine, giving the truck the ability to attain 50 mph and get a claimed 60 mpg.

25613656#8

Reliant TW9

The Ant had a long production run because, at the time, no other vehicle offered as much variety in terms of vehicle configuration for so many jobs. "Target customers in the UK were mostly local government agencies". The Ant was often sold as just a cab-and-chassis, allowing customers to fit whatever body they wanted, such as flat-beds, closed delivery vans, small water tankers, refuse collectors, street drain cleaners, snow ploughs, road sweepers and articulated tractor units. Although originally intended to be sold only outside the UK, councils in England, Wales and Scotland bought large numbers of Ants as roadsweeps in the 1970s and 1980s, along with other versions of the truck. The Dublin Corp. in Ireland purchased 60 Ants for various municipal duties.

25613656#9

Reliant TW9

Some 1888 Ants were built in the UK: 1229 between 1967 and 1971, and another 659 from 1972 (when the larger engine was fitted) to 1987, the year domestic production ceased. An unstated number of additional Ants were built in Greece after the vehicle went out of production in the UK.

Qingyang sachet

Qingyang sachet, also known as "chu chu" or "shua huo" (hidden stitch) is a folk custom of Qingyang, Gansu, China. Sachets are created from small pieces of silk, which are embroidered with colorful strings in a variety of patterns according to papercutting designs. The silk is then sewn into different shapes and filled with cotton and spices. Qingyang sachets symbolize blessing, auspiciousness, happiness, safety, peace, and avoidance of evil, disaster, illnesses, and misfortune. Many sachets are also filled with cinnabar, calamus, wormwood, and chrysanthemum, and they are commonly used as air fresheners, insect repellent, and protection against evil spirits.

Historically sachet has also gone by the names of purse, "xiangnang," "peiwei," and "rongchou". In Qingyang, however, it is commonly known as "chu chu" or "shua huo" "Chu" originally referred to the original method of using bone needles for sewing, but later referred to the sachet itself, which is made of cloth. In local Qingyang culture, it may also be called purse or “shua huo zi.”

Historians differ on the exact origins of the sachet. One account dates it around 2300 BC. Another accredits the sachet to the mythological doctor Qibo and to a passage in the Huangdi Neijing, which has been dated between the late Warring States period (475-221 BCE) and the Han dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE). More rooted in tangible history, the sachet appeared in the Warring States period as distinctive decorations worn as a clothing accessory as well as mosquito repellent. The origins of the “fragrant sachet” has been assigned to rural Chinese women during the Han dynasty. During this time, an account appeared in the Book of Rites, compiled by Dai Sheng, which described the popularity of perfumed and embroidered brocade sachets, especially among young people who wore these sachets around their wrists, necks, and waists. They were also popular in the Tang (618-906) and Song (960-1279) dynasties, but were mainly luxuries for the wealthy and powerful. Qingyang’s male officials and women from elite families wore sachets filled with traditional Chinese medicine rather than perfume. Sachets would later be used as tokens of love and affection in the Qing dynasty (1644-1661).

The oldest existing sachet is approximately 800 years old. In 2001 people excavated stone pagodas from the Song dynasty in Qingyang. They found a sachet embroidered with plums and lotus flowers, its pattern still clear despite the passage of time. Thus the sachet earned the name “Longevity Sachet.”

Today the sachet is seen most commonly at the Dragon Boat Festival, in which the making and wearing of "chu chu" is a local custom. Festival goers and locals use sachets filled with herbal medicine to pray for their health while many children wear them in hopes of increasing their intelligence, peace, and health. Many popular mainstream sachets are created by Qingyang Lingyun Clothing Co., Ltd., with Zhang Zhifeng as chairperson, who is an inheritor of sachet-making. The company employs 200 people and creates 40 million yuan worth of clothing and sachets annually.

Qingyang sachets often exhibit repeated symbols and patterns, reflecting Qingyang's past and present traditions, beliefs, and religion. Sachets are typically embroidered with flora and fauna. Since ancient times, Qingyang’s dominant philosophical strongholds have been Confucianism and Taoism, and their various tenants appear symbolically and thematically in the designs of sachets. Important Confucianist ideals are filial piety, strength-borrowing (achieving one’s objectives through the strength of others), the Five Bonds (ruler to ruled, father to son, husband to wife, elder brother to younger brother, and friend to friend), and the doctrine of the “mean” and “neutralization” (being impartial and in harmonious portion while dealing with the everyday). Taoism, on the other hand, places emphasis on quietism, effortless action, and immortality. The main philosophy that emerges from these two traditions is that man is an integral part of nature and should therefore follow natural laws, which dominates the symbolism adorning Qingyang sachets. In addition, many symbols retain Buddhist ideals also circulated in the region, such as the golden fish and swastika.

Sachets typically consist of one of four patterns: shape-oriented, meaning-oriented, homophone-oriented, and heterogeneous patterns. Shared-oriented patterns include patterns that have shared-shapes (shapes intertwined or side-by-side), shape(s)-inside-shape(s) (an image within an image), and combined-shapes (two images melded together, typically an animal and a human). Shape-oriented patterns use easily recognizable images from local traditions to convey a story or idea. Meaning-oriented patterns convey a specific meaning and thus a specific purpose, such as praying for one's sons. Homophone-oriented patterns display various images, which represent words that share similar pronunciations as homophones. This allows for word play. Heterogeneous patterns consist of varying images and symbols versus a limited set of only few, as seen in the other three patterns.

To Have or to Be?

To Have or to Be? is a 1976 book by psychoanalyst Erich Fromm, in which he differentiates between having and being. It was originally published in the World Perspectives book series edited by Ruth Nanda Anshen for Harper & Row publishing firm.

To Have or to Be?

Fromm writes that modern society has become materialistic and prefers "having" to "being". He mentions the great promise of unlimited happiness, freedom, material abundance, and domination of nature. These hopes reached their highs when the industrial age began. One could feel that there would be unlimited production and hence unlimited consumption. Human beings aspired to be Gods of earth, but this wasn’t really the case. The great promise failed due to the unachievable aims of life, i.e. maximum pleasure and fulfillment of every desire (radical hedonism), and the egotism, selfishness and greed of people. In the industrial age, the development of this economic system was no longer determined by the question of what is good for man, but rather of what is good for the growth of the system. So, the economic system of society served people in such a way in which only their personal interests were intended to impart. The people having unlimited needs and desires like the Roman emperors, the English and French noblemen were the people who got the most out of it.

25613679#2

To Have or to Be?

Society nowadays has completely deviated from its actual path. The materialistic nature of people of "having" has been more developed than "being". Modern industrialization has made great promises, but all these promises are developed to fulfill their interests and increase their possessions. In every mode of life, people should ponder more on "being" nature and not towards the "having" nature. This is the truth which people deny and thus people of the modern world have completely lost their inner selves. The point of being is more important as everyone is mortal, and thus having of possessions will become useless after their death, because the possessions which are transferred to the life after death, will be what the person actually was inside.

Georgernes Verft

Georgernes Verft is an area located on the peninsula of Nordnes in Bergen, Norway. It was named after the shipyard that used to operate in the area. Over time the surrounding area was populated by shipyard workers and is still known as Verftet. Today a large residential complex dominates the area.

25613698#1

Georgernes Verft

The yard was established in 1784 by Georg Brunchorst and Georg Vedeler thus explaining the name "Georges' shipyard". In the 1850s the yard was taken over by Ananias Dekke who modernized the site and built a new dock. The shipyard was known to have produced some of the fastest sailships in the world and also supplied ships to the Royal Danish Navy and Royal Norwegian Navy. The production of wooden sailing ships continued until the late 1800s when steel ships became dominant.

25613698#2

Georgernes Verft

Upon the end of the yard its owner turned to the expanding knitting industry and established a prosperous factory of 3000 m². This building still stands largely unchanged. At the start of the 1900s, the knitting industry needed a bigger factory and had to move to a location outside Bergen. This coincided with the rapid expansion of the sardine industry and in 1910 United Sardine Factories Ltd. (USF) was established. The production of canned goods also expanded the industrial area to 15000 m². Most of these buildings are still intact.

25613698#3

Georgernes Verft

The canning industry was restructured and the USF factory disbanded in 1983. The property owner AS Norwegian Preserving Company opened parts of the old sardine factory to artists in the following year. A close cooperation between the landowner and the artists resulted in an innovative and cross-genre collective of art and other culture in the USF Verftet cultural center ("USF - Kulturhuset").
