Bergen harbour, Norway, 1967
M/S Bruvik was built in 1949, still active in 2009, and possibly a little later, see www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=984798 Maybe she still exists?
M/S Vestgar was still around in 2010, see; www.vestgar.no/ and; www.norsk-fartoyvern.no/nfff/members/details/154/
In 1967 the harbour was alive with small boats plying their trade to and from the islands and coastal villages. Gradually, more and more bridges and tunnels have been built to connect isolated communities by road, so many of these vessels are no longer required.
When we returned to Norway in 1983 with our car we drove to the island Sotra with ease, the normal type of destination in 1967 for vessels like Vestgar.
Bergen harbour today is so quiet by comparison with what it still was in the 1960's,
