Steamship Børøysund was launched in 1908 with the name “Odin”. She served under this name during the WW1 helping navy. She was sold to another company and renamed “Skjergar”. Until 1960 she served under passenger service and then she was bought by a school and named “Hyma”. In 1968, the school sold the ship to a historical ship preservation club and she got the name Børøysund. She still is operational and making tours. The ship is 33.1m long, 5.5m wide. She can carry 100 passengers and can speed up to 9 knots with her triple expansion steam engine. You can visit the club’s web site by clicking here.

Å i Lofoten (from å meaning "stream") is a village in the municipality of Moskenes, Norway and is located towards the southern end of the Lofoten archipelago. It is connected to the rest of the archipelago by the E10 road, which is also called King Olav's Road. Until the 1990s, Å was mainly a small fishing village specializing in stockfish, but since then tourism has taken over as the main economic activity. The village (originally a farm) is first mentioned in 1567 ("Aa"). The name is from Old Norse á which means "(small) river". The name was spelled Aa until 1917 when the Norwegian language reform changed the letter aa to å.
