of the Pilotage Board. However, there are certain private waterways which in
this regard do not fall within the purview of the Pilotage Board.
Harbours and Dry Docks.
In virtue of the long- line of the Swedish coast, the almost entire
absence of tide, the existence of numberless firths and river-mouths
penetrating deeply into the countrj’, jirovided with good anchorages, and
sheltered by nature from wind and wave, and also of a number of lakes
connected by canals with the sea, Sweden has in proportion to her population,
an extremely large number of harbours. Most of these are natural
harbours, that is, harbours protected entirely or to a very great
extent by the natural conformation of the land. But Sweden has also
a good many harbours, and some of them of very considerable importance,
which to a great extent have been protected by artificial means. To the
former category belong the two greatest harbours in Sweden, Stockholm
and Gothenburg, besides Luleå, Sundsvall, Gävle, Oxelösund, and
Norrköping. Among artificial harbours should be reckoned Malmö, Kalmar,
Trälleborg, Hälsingborg, Visby, Ystad, and Halmstad.
