Hindø damskibsselskab gains in the fjord was a spearhead of modernization event of the fishing industry in northern Norway. The company used quick fish steamers, purse seine, fresh fish year-round shipping and fishing over large areas, and salted and exported herring. Hindø Dampskibsselskab was apparently the first shipping company in Northern Norway that started using purse seine
Hindø Dampskibsselskap A / S was a company that ran bank fishing and herring fishing.
Path to the shipping company began in 1875, when trader Christoffer Gerhard Ellingsen situated at Kvitnes in Hadsel took the initiative to buy the little steamer "Kvik". Several men from Vesterålen and Lofoten got together and bought the boat. In 1883 founded Christoffer Ellingsen and his sons Karl and Jens a stock company with the aim of purchase a larger ship. The following year, the company name Dampskibet Hindøs interessentskap (Steamship Hindøs partnership), and in 1893 the name was Hindø Dampskibsselskap A / S. The company's office moved in 1899 from Kvitnes to Sigerfjord in Sortland.
Steamship Company went well, and new ships were acquired. In 1898 the company received the fishing boat "Skolpen", and in year 1902 attempt fishing on the coast of Finnmark, fishing spot Stolpenbanken was found during this fishery, and was named after the boat.
Sigerfjord had good growth in population in the decades around the turn of the century, from 7.8 families 1880c to approx. 600 inhabitants in 1916. Sigerfjord was the second largest place in Vesteraalen after Andenes. The progress at Sigerfjord and the shipping company continued to 1920, when fish prices went down and the herring fishery over several seasons failed. Hindø Dampskibsselskap was dissolved in 1923.

I am waiting for further documentation next month.

Well this is the new info, just a few pictures from the Board Regulations written in year 1911 and nothing very interesting concerning floats.

AASNÆS

AASNÆS GLASSWORK

It was Johan Christian Vogelsang who started production at Aasnæs Glasværk situated in Namdalseid mid Norway. Aasnæs Glasværk was in operation from 1813 to 1883, and it was one of a total of 6 glassworks in Namdalen in the 1800s. (Namdalseid and Trondheim area, mid Norway)

Glassworks in Namdalseid and Trondheim area, mid Norway;
Sørvig: 1808 - 1821
Holmen: 1812 to 1840
Jøssund: 1854 +
Namsos: 1855 - 1867
Bjørum: 1873 - 1886

Aasnæs was depended on timber  from the namdalske forests of glass-melting. Both crofters and farmers got a little extra income by delivering at the plant, up to a Norwegian speciedaler rates. embrace of, or payment in the form of glass or corn. 

The relatively close proximity to the coast were also favorable, given the need for another important raw material: seaweed ashes. seaweed Ash Burning was an additional income for the primary industries along the coast.

In 1830 established Aasnæs 84 different products. Ten years later the glass crests became a new and important product. When the glass is neither south was in decline from the 1840s, delivered Aasnæs most of what was required of glass floats to fisheries in mid and Northern Norway.

Glass production gave employment to almost the entire village and had ripple effects for a large catchment area. In 1865 was 129 persons residing under Aasnæs. In 1875 there were four houses for the workers at the construction site with a total of 95 persons in 31 households.
Two glass blowers  work one day at a melting pot,  gave one hundred beer bottles.
It was produced carafes, lion bottles (jagtflasker or hunt bottles I guess the name is in US English), apothecary glass and window panes, and they were shipped out from the pier at Aasnæs via Namsen Fjord to outlets in Trondheim and Bergen. With the boats in the fjord was seaweed ash from the coastal municipalities, clay and brown sand from Holland, brown stone from Bergen and quartz sand from Vega at the Helgelands coast mid Norway.
Aasnæs Glass Works was one of the most important glass producers in Norway for the manufacture of bottles and window glass. In addition, glass crests was a main product of Aasnæs

Nothing new from Bergen and Norway only Xmas shopping and Obama Security and the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, maybe I can ask Obama a question about using glass floats instead of those plastic floats to prevent pollution and stop Global Warming...LoL..

Sale and finds:
As I told you before, those two eggs was sold to an Norwegian collector and good friend and my rest from the Ålesund find is also sold to another Norwegian collector.

Another person who'is or was the owner of an old antique store up north is now working and digging for rare floats up north among he's fishermen friends and contacts.
So all we have to do is wait for interesting and rare floats to show up, he has my list and wish for floats and marks and I have also sendt a letter including my collector friends wishes.

Merry X-mas and take good care everyone!
