27 quented. Also a number of steam-yachts with pleasure parties have used the harbour ns a berth, which is not advisable considering the great distance from the centre of the city. „Mellem Pselene“ (between the piles) straight in front of the Kvsesthusbro is no doubt a far better berth. From the Free Port, which may be viewed from the new Langelinje, you return to the city through the fort or as it is officially called, C i t a d e l l e t F r e d r i k s h a v n (PI..
