T H E FREE PORT AND T H E HARBOUR OF COPENHAGEN.

TH E "KVÆ STHUS"- PIER

ou r boat enters the canals that on all sides su rround the island of "S lotsholm en". We pass the fish-market of Copenhagen on "G amm el S trand", where, in the early m orning, the fisher­ men land their cargoes. At lenght we reach the southern part of the h a rbou r "K alvebodstrand". This is the quarter of "the black d iam ond s"; along the quays lie the large English stea­ mers, un lo ad ing coals from the m ines of England. Before us, along the shore, lies the subu rb of Vesterbro, and in the distance we see a num ber of factories and tall chim ­ neys, the smoke from which veils the outskirts of the city and the shore. Away to the south, where the Sound and the Baltic meet, you may see a fleet of sailing vessels and steamers ap ­ p ro ach ing — the H a rbou r of C o p e n h a g e n ! Anthon Maaløe.
