Over the course of a century, it has managed to experience both good and bad times, and even a World War. However, bad times are quickly forgotten. Like when the midnight sun shines and it is impossible to distinguish day from night, or when the northern lights dance as clearly in the ripples on the sea as in the sky. Green, blue and even purple. It&#8217;s always magical, even for a native.<\/p>\n<p>We know that Hermes II is a unique boat. It has navigated between small and even tiny places in Northern Norway, transported coal, fish, animals, houses and churches. It participated during the evacuation that occurred after the burning of Finnmark and Nord-Troms during World War II, and it helped to rebuild the area afterwards. It has departed from quays on countless cold winter days.<\/p>\n<p>More than 100 years after the boat first felt salt water under its keel, it is still here. It is a boat constructed and built by Nils Skandfer, one of the few people accepted as an apprentice by Colin Archer. Both of these eminent boat designers became famous for their elegant and very safe boats.<\/p>\n<p>Today, only three such cutters have been preserved. We have a deep and passionate desire to ensure that this boat is preserved in top condition for at least another 100 years. This is only possible by allowing it to continue to sail the Arctic waters. And preferably, with you as a guest on board.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-706d8bc elementor-widget

Skandfer was born at Rens\u00e5 in Ibestad, and moved south in 1898 to begin as an apprentice with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Colin_Archer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colin Archer<\/a>. He must have made a good impression there. Archer was known for keeping his cards close to his chest when it came to the boats he designed and built, but he made a rare exception for Skandfer.<\/p>\n<p>Skandfer lived up to his master\u2019s expectations and eventually became renowned nationally for his ingenuity as a boat designer. Due to the boats&#8217; excellent seagoing properties, Skandfer-boats became a concept. Hermes II is one of the last remaining vessels built by Nils Skandfer himself. It was originally equipped with a 40 HP Bolinder semi-diesel engine and sails as propulsion. The vessel has had seven different engines over the years, including a 180 HP Lister. The current engine is a Cummins 335 HP that has worked faithfully in the engine room since 1972.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-915ebf1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"915ebf1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hermes2.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hermes2-f93l.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-300\" alt=\"f93l\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hermes2.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hermes2-f93l.png 500w, https:\/\/www.hermes2.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hermes2-f93l-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.hermes2.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hermes2-f93l-300x300.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3cc3521 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-items-stretch elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3cc3521\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_motion_fx_scrolling&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_translateY_effect&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_translateY_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:1.5,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;background_motion_fx_translateY_affectedRange&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:{&quot;start&quot;:0,&quot;end&quot;:100}},&quot;background_motion_fx_devices&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f4c889d elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"f4c889d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a953fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8a953fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Over 100 years of coastal history<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29d784b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29d784b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Hermes II was commissioned by merchant Eilert Ingebrigtsen from Alta.

Hermes II was one of the many boats requisitioned by the Germans for various tasks. The crew thus took a major risk when they sabotaged the engine so that the Germans would have the least possible benefit from the vessel.<\/p>\n<p>In 1944, Hermes II participated during the evacuation of Finnmark. Since its engine had been sabotaged, it had to be towed by another boat. After the war, Hermes II was used to transport materials for houses and churches that were erected as replacements for the buildings burned down by the Germans when Russian troops forced them to retreat southwards. Many of these houses are still standing today along the coast of North Troms and Finnmark.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea039a4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ea039a4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The start of today's Hermes shipping company<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ceb07e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5ceb07e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In 1952, Hermes II was purchased by the shipping partnership Martin Andersen and others.
