    This is a traditional tall ship. Serves as a military training ship. Participates in regattas around the world representing Norway. My granddaughter is in it.

    The ship was built at Johann C. Tecklenborg AG in Bremerhaven-Geestemünde in 1914, then as a training ship for the German merchant fleet. The ship's name was then "Grossherzog Friedrich August", named after Friedrich August von Oldenburg, the last reigning Grand Duke of Oldenburg. During the First World War the ship was stationed in Germany as a training ship, but after the war it was taken by Great Britain as spoils of war. In 1923, former minister of labor and then director of Det Bergenske Dampskibsselskab, Kristofer Lehmkuhl, urged the Norwegian Shipping Association to buy the ship for NOK 300,000. The ship was renamed "Statsraad Lehmkuhl" for Lehmkuhl's work for the school ship case, as well as his work in Christian Michelsen's government 1905-07. Bergens Rederiforening went on a test voyage with the ship for five months in 1923 with 200 pupils on board, and after this the ship was given to the institution Bergens Skoleskib. They operated the ship until 1966, only interrupted by World War II when the ship was seized by the Germans. In connection with this, the ship was renamed SS "Westwärts" (= Westover) in the period 1940–45. Again she was a spoil of war, this time taken on Marineholmen in 1940 and sailed to Åstveitvågen, which was named Westwärtsbucht (= Westover Bay) in honor of the ship. There the ship served as the headquarters and accommodation ship for the officers of the Küstensicherungsverband Westküste, established on 23 December 1940,[3] which gradually developed the bay as a naval port for the 51. Vorposten Flottille. In 1966, Bergens Skoleskib was no longer able to operate the ship, despite receiving contributions from the state. The number of pupils decreased, while maintenance costs and other expenses increased. In 1967, the ship was in danger of being sold abroad, but the Bergen shipowner Hilmar Reksten intervened and bought the SS "Statsraad Lehmkuhl", which was thus still allowed to dock in Bergen. SS "Statsraad Lehmkuhl" was part of Reksten's ship fleet until 1978, and he ran private courses on the ship, but he also had to cut this out due to a lack of state support. The ship was in storage in Bergen harbor from 1973 to 1978, when he transferred the ship to a private foundation: Stiftelsen Statsraad Lehmkuhl. This foundation still operates the ship.

  • 4/5 Sabela Aguiar (. 3 years ago on Google
    Best hidden gem in town. Good selection of beers, good prices, indie music, live music every last Thursday of the month. One of the best sunny and quiet terraces in Sentrum and right beside the fjord! 🤩

  • 4/5 Varun N. 5 years ago on Google
    Its definitely worth to go out for a ride on this boat. A lot of history is related to it. The best part of the boat is the unlimited open space. The food served is good and tasteful. The only drawback is lack of a good sound/music system. A decent sound system will make the experience even better.

    Nice cruise around Bergen... Big and spacious, we had good time with music, good food and simple but tasty drinks. The views of the fjords were nice.

👍👍 Stopped scrolling through countless Google Maps recommendations and chose this cute little pub. Hearty and delicious food. Pricier than fast food but so worth it. Go for the fish pie and artichoke soup.
