Karl Stpordalen Fjord monument.

 

Karl Stordalen (Norway1846-1919) was a rich industrial who made a fortune manufacturing boats that could be transformed into working factories. Karl Stordalens' "boat factories" went to faraway places and new businesses were started all over the world.  The boats were assembled in a navy yard in Norway (Melfjorden, Rødøy, Norway) and sent out to many countries to help improve their economies. He had, a that time, developed the idea of a global capitalistic world that would make room for progress in science, art, industry and a general welness.
