Info on Sandefjord
Sandefjord is a municipality and a town in the county of Vestfold in Norway. He received city status in 1845.
Sandefjord is located in the south of the country on the rugged coastline of Skagerrak, a section of the North Sea between Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
Among the most important traces of the Viking era in Sandefjord is the site of royal tombs Gokstadhaugen near the city. In 1880 the Viking ship Gokstad was found, currently kept at the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo. From the mid-nineteenth century several whaling ships were built in the Sandefjord shipyards and in 1905 a whaling shipment to the Antarctica was launched. From 1950 onwards the whaling industry was gradually reduced. The history of whaling is traced back to a museum, the only one of its kind in Europe. Sandefjord has also been an important tourist destination in the past because of its thermal baths. Today, the city's industry is still based on shipyards but also on the chemical industry linked to oil and food industries.
