The landscape around the village may be barren, but the ocean is teeming with fish. As early as the Middle Ages, people flocked to the fishing villages on the Varanger peninsula, and from the mid-19th century, Berlev\u00e5g established itself as a prominent community. Berlev\u00e5g\u2019s advantage was its location, on the edge of the Barents Sea. The fishermen, who relied on sails and oars, did not have to go far to reach the fishing grounds. When evening fell, their little boats were pulled up along the boat landings and into the boat houses, safe from the winter storms. Everything changed when boat engines became common, from around 1900. Boats needed a calm, protected harbour. Berlev\u00e5g was wide open to the north, and heavy storms could sweep the entire fishing fleet onto the rocky beaches. Something had to be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-constructing-the-first-breakwater\">Constructing the first breakwater<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1913, Parliament granted funds to build a breakwater in Berlev\u00e5g. Construction immediately began on Varnesmoloen \u2013 the breakwater on the eastern side. In 1920, construction began on Svartoksmoloen to the west, and together, these breakwaters were supposed to protect the harbour. In order to get enough rocks, they built a narrow-gauge railway from the quarry to the breakwaters. The tiny steam locomotive, reminiscent of a toy, is on display in the museum. The rock in Berlev\u00e5g is porous, however, and they struggled to find enough high-quality rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/D8C5383B-A1A1-4F17-B9E5-32AC75B7E494.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1600\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/D8C5383B-A1A1-4F17-B9E5-32AC75B7E494-2048x1365.jpg\" alt=\"The &quot;hulka&quot; - the little train bringing rocks out the the breakwater construction site \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/D8C5383B-A1A1-4F17-B9E5-32AC75B7E494.jpg\" data-caption=\"The &quot;hulka&quot; - the little train bringing rocks out the the breakwater construction site \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BEH02012.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1486\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BEH02012-768x476.jpg\" alt=\"Crushing of rocks, production of sand at Revsnes, 1966 \u00a9 Havnemuseet i Berlev\u00e5g\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BEH02012.jpg\" data-caption=\"Crushing of rocks, production of sand at Revsnes, 1966 \u00a9 Havnemuseet i Berlev\u00e5g\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bruddet.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1586\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bruddet-768x508.jpg\" alt=\"The stone quarry \u00a9 Havnemuseet i Berlev\u00e5g\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bruddet.jpg\" data-caption=\"The stone quarry \u00a9 Havnemuseet i Berlev\u00e5g\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BEH00003.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1559\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BEH00003-768x499.jpg\" alt=\"From the building of the breakwaters \u00a9 Havnemuseet i Berlev\u00e5g\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BEH00003.jpg\" data-caption=\"From the building of the breakwaters \u00a9 Havnemuseet i Berlev\u00e5g\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: The &quot;hulka&quot; &#8211; the little train bringing rocks out the the breakwater construction site \u00a9 Katelin Pell<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Crushing of rocks, production of sand at Revsnes, 1966 \u00a9 Havnemuseet i Berlev\u00e5g<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: The stone quarry \u00a9 Havnemuseet i Berlev\u00e5g<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: From the building of the breakwaters \u00a9 Havnemuseet i Berlev\u00e5g<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-sea-takes-revenge\">The sea takes revenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During a heavy storm in 1932, a third of Svartoksmoloen collapsed into the sea. This setback brought construction to a stand-still. Then, in 1938, Parliament and Finnmark County agreed to resume construction. Following the German occupation in 1940, construction was once again put on hold, and in late 1944, Berlev\u00e5g burned to the ground when the Germans withdrew from Finnmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-back-at-it-after-the-war\">Back at it after the war<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, construction resumed after the war. One hundred men were soon working hard on the project, and rough-hewn, large rocks were brought out onto Svartoksmoloen. The breakwater was being constructed as a rubble-mound, which means that workers would bring large rocks out and essentially dump them into the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/865E7832-D768-4489-ABE0-D537B4D93BA7.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1600\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/865E7832-D768-4489-ABE0-D537B4D93BA7-2048x1365.jpg\" alt=\"View past the tetrapods towards the Kj\u00f8lnes lighthouse afar.

It became clear that the breakwater construction would not be able to withstand the wrath of the Barents Sea. Innovation was needed. The solution came in the form of a French patent that had previously only been used in the tropics \u2013 the <em>tetrapod<\/em>. The word \u2018tetrapod\u2019 means four-legged, and the structure is a four-legged concrete block. These are packed close together as an outer layer on the side of the breakwater facing the open sea. When the storm is raging, the legs of the tetrapod tangle with each other. They are able to move some as the waves crash over them, and water is able to penetrate the layer. This breaks up the enormous forces. They developed a special type of concrete intended for the cold climate, and the tetrapods were poured on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-completed-breakwaters\">Completed breakwaters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Construction on Svartoksmoloen was completed in 1964, after 44 years of labour. They also retired the tiny little train. Refsnesmoloen was built during the period 1964\u20131974. In 1973, King Olav V opened the coastal express pier in Berlev\u00e5g. The harbour was now safe for the large coastal express ships, and the old \u201cPramma\u201d \u2013 the expedition vessel for the open sea \u2013 was retired. Berlev\u00e5g had a safe harbour. In a park in Berlev\u00e5g, there is a tetrapod monument on a plinth \u2013 for those in the know, it speaks volumes about how Berlev\u00e5g persevered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-crane-operator-describes-how-they-worked\">Crane operator describes how they worked<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Crane operator Asbj\u00f8rn Efraimsen described his workdays as follows: Conditions were rough. My buddy and I were working out on the breakwater, and the waves were nine metres high. We were 2\u20133 metres above the breakwater, and we had to count the waves to get down from the crane. There would be a break after every fourth wave, and we had to run really fast. The next wave often swept in before we managed, and then we got wet. The worst of it was that we had to stay in the cabin until low tide. We lit a fire in a tiny stove, because there was no electricity up there. We had to keep the fire going, and the cabin was ten metres above the sea. If you opened the door, the water would just come rushing in. We had to stay there until the waters calmed down at low tide. We couldn\u2019t see anything, because the breakwater was under water. We were young and didn\u2019t think anything of it, we just had a smoke and enjoyed the view.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-2\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BEH00628.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x2392\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BEH00628-2048x2041.jpg\" alt=\"The transport boat, pramma, is fully loaded with goods.

In certain conditions, the ocean waves against the opening in the breakwaters caused the famous <em>pull of the sea<\/em>, which meant considerable problems when entering the harbour. These problems were exacerbated by the modern fishing vessels being larger than the vessels of old, and they were only able to enter on high tide. The solution was a major operation, which involved dredging the harbour and making it deeper, and this work was completed in 1994\u20131995. This means Berlev\u00e5g is now a harbour capable of accommodating modern vessels, and it is just as close to the fishing grounds as it has ever been. Without construction of the breakwaters and the dredging of the harbour, Berlev\u00e5g would likely not have survived as a fishing village \u2013 there are plenty of fishing villages that did not survive the transition to modern fisheries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pramma-is-the-museum-s-greatest-treasure\">Pramma is the museum&#8217;s greatest treasure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pramma is set up in a separate building on the museum grounds.

Sometimes, even choirs came out to entertain tourists during the short stay. In bad weather, on the other hand, passengers had to go down into the hold. Here, they were put into a box of sorts \u2013 made of steel and tarpaulins \u2013 three or four people at a time. This box was then lifted into the air by the crane and swung onto the forecastle of the coastal express. Boarding the coastal express this way, in the snow, sleet, darkness and heavy seas, must have been a nerve-wracking experience. Even so, as far as the museum has been able to determine, there were no serious accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kristian-got-a-bruised-arm\">Kristian got a bruised arm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We were lucky enough to have Kristian M\u00f8ller stopping by the museum when we were there. The 82-year-old Berlev\u00e5g local did, of course, go out on Pramma in its hayday. Once, he was put into the box with three women, in gale-force winds and heavy seas. \u201cWhen they lifted us up, the deck of Pramma came up and slammed into us,\u201d he says. \u201cOne of the women grabbed my arm so hard that it left a large bruise that did not go away for days.\u201d We can only imagine how relieved people were when the pier for the coastal express was completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/53760FE2-1160-4356-8BB7-7CD7C24DA319.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1600\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/53760FE2-1160-4356-8BB7-7CD7C24DA319-2048x1365.jpg\" alt=\"At the Harbour Museum kitchen, full of old nick-nacks that survived WWII \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/53760FE2-1160-4356-8BB7-7CD7C24DA319.jpg\" data-caption=\"At the Harbour Museum kitchen, full of old nick-nacks that survived WWII \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/F0BDB44D-C8BA-46BA-B8F3-821678DCAFFD.jpg\" data-size=\"1600x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/F0BDB44D-C8BA-46BA-B8F3-821678DCAFFD-768x1152.jpg\" alt=\"From the Pramma - the expedition boat \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/F0BDB44D-C8BA-46BA-B8F3-821678DCAFFD.jpg\" data-caption=\"From the Pramma - the expedition boat \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/F0FAB30A-6962-4B8D-AF6F-A2535CA90D39.jpg\" data-size=\"1600x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/F0FAB30A-6962-4B8D-AF6F-A2535CA90D39-768x1152.jpg\" alt=\"The suitcases belonging to the passenger going with the Hurtigruten\u00a9 Katelin Pell\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/F0FAB30A-6962-4B8D-AF6F-A2535CA90D39.jpg\" data-caption=\"The suitcases belonging to the passenger going with the Hurtigruten\u00a9 Katelin Pell\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/F1A8D746-792F-464B-8F1A-57AC0A479B4F.jpg\" data-size=\"1600x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/F1A8D746-792F-464B-8F1A-57AC0A479B4F-768x1152.jpg\" alt=\"An old organ that survived WWII \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/F1A8D746-792F-464B-8F1A-57AC0A479B4F.jpg\" data-caption=\"An old organ that survived WWII \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: At the Harbour Museum kitchen, full of old nick-nacks that survived WWII \u00a9 Katelin Pell<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: From the Pramma &#8211; the expedition boat \u00a9 Katelin Pell<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: The suitcases belonging to the passenger going with the Hurtigruten\u00a9 Katelin Pell<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: An old organ that survived WWII \u00a9 Katelin Pell<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-treasures-from-old-berle-g-all-in-one-place\">Treasures from old Berle\u00e5g &#8211; all in one place<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you visit the harbour museum in Berlev\u00e5g, they put on a short film for you, showing the history of the harbour. You are seated in old chairs, like an old-fashioned living room. All around you are old photographs and knick-knacks \u2013 there is an old organ on one wall. The next room is a small kitchen, filled with old kitchen objects, such as sugar nips. There is also a copy of \u201cAlle kvinner\u201d magazine from 1939, with lots of beauty tips. These are things many of us have seen in our grandparents\u2019 home, or in vintage shops. But then you realize \u2013 Berlev\u00e5g was completely razed in November 1944, there was hardly a single building left standing. Many of the locals had time to bury objects and furniture, however. As time has passed, many of these objects have been donated to the museum, like little treasures from old Berlev\u00e5g, lost forever. It is quite moving to read the little notes donors have written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-harbour-museum-tells-the-story-of-berlev-g\">The harbour museum tells the story of Berlev\u00e5g<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The harbour museum is a rich and varied local history museum. Learn about the first people who settled here 11,500 years ago, and there are plenty of photos from the thriving fishing village from the late 19th century up to the war. There are even some photographs taken by German soldiers. Behind the large wharfs in the usual Northern Norwegian style, there is an idyllic fishing village with wooden houses. We learn about traditional fishing from small boats, about cutting ice to preserve the fish, and how to dress to stay warm. Slowly, we move through time, into the modern fisheries industry and filleting factories.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/building-4.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1598\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/building-4-2048x1364.jpg\" alt=\"Berlev\u00e5g with the red buildings that constitue the Harbour Museum.

These are railroad sleepers, and they were used as the surface of a tiny airstrip the German forces built right outside Berlev\u00e5g. The front against the Soviets lay just each of Kirkenes, so there were plenty of ships coming in and many German soldiers in the village. In the autumn of 1944, however, the German war effort stalled, and the Soviets moved into Kirkenes and further west. The German strategy was to leave nothing for the Red Army; they were intent on destroying everything. They were pressed for time in Eastern Finnmark, however, and many fishing villages and settlements were left untouched. Berlev\u00e5g had no suck luck; only a couple of buildings were left standing in November 1944.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kristian-shared-his-story\">Kristian shared his story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we said, we were lucky to meet Kristian M\u00f8ller, born in 1940, at the museum. He told us he remembered bits and pieces from the war. We are sure the events of the war left a big impression on a child. His mother, Dagny Loe, was held prisoner by the Germans, and she features heavily in the exhibits. His adoptive parents and some other neighbours sought refuge in a hut by the coast, around eight kilometres from Berlev\u00e5g. 24 people stayed there for a week, before they returned to a burned-out Berlev\u00e5g. A boat later came from B\u00e5tsfjord to rescue them. B\u00e5tsfjord was not burned, and the population increased from 600 to more than double that due to the influx of people from near and far who had lost their homes. The small family lived in the attic of a so-called <em>egnarbu<\/em>, a shed used for mending fishing nets, until 1946. They returned to Berlev\u00e5g, where they stayed in barracks until they were able to get a modern house. His&nbsp; mother returned from German captivity in the summer of 1945.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sami-costumes-temporary-exhibition-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sami-costumes-temporary-exhibition-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sami-costumes-temporary-exhibition-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sami-costumes-temporary-exhibition-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sami-costumes-temporary-exhibition-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sami-costumes-temporary-exhibition-2048x1153.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A temporary exhibit at the Harbour Museum \u00a9 Havnemuseet i Berlev\u00e5g<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-harbour-museum-in-berlev-g-is-a-personal-and-moving-experience\">The harbour museum in Berlev\u00e5g is a personal and moving experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fishing village at Berlev\u00e5g makes a strong impression, with its colourful reconstructed houses inside the massive breakwaters.
