"An important part of the old coastal culture in the Gulf of Bothnia and the Kvarken is boat and shipbuilding. Everything from folk boats in wood to leisure boats and ships in modern materials are built here. In Luleå, the Social Administration runs a workshop where people with various problems are given meaningful employment in renovating old wooden boats."


Great find !

Google translate... If I get a chance I will see if I can get the video auto translated.. not perfect but be better than nothing.

Based on a quick look it appears this is a video where guys who have nice wooden boats set them on fire, or abandon them to the elements, so they can have the fun of rebuilding them.

It is often assumed that people working on wooden boats have various problems... ..And need alternative meaningful employment.

God bless em.
