81. Parti af Fredrikshald. Fredrikshald er
en smukt beliggende Kjøbstad ved Tistedalselvens
Udløb i Iddefjorden; 10,000 Indb. Byens Navn var i
ældre Tider „Halden", men forandredes under Frederik
den Tredie 1665 til Fredrikshald. Under denne Konge
anlagdes ogsaa Fæstningen Fredrikssten paa en
Granitklippe lige ved Byen. Den er historisk bekjendt ved
de gjentagne Beleiringer, hvorfor den var udsat af
Svenskerne i 1658 og 1660, og ved det heltemodige
Forsvar, Borgerne herunder udviste. I 1716 og 1718
beleiredes den atter af Svenskerne under Carl den
tolvte, efterat Byen var afbrændt, men begge Gange
uden Nytte. Under den sidste Beleiring fandt Carl
den tolvte sin Død her; i 1860 opreistes af Svenskerne
et Monument paa det Sted, hvor han faldt. Ogsaa
under Krigsaarene 1807 til 1814 led Byen meget, og i
det sidstnævnte Aar maatte den overgive sig til de
Svenske, ligesom ogsaa Fredrikssten ifølge
Konventionen til Moss for en Tid holdtes besat af dem. —
Fredrikshald har flere Gange været hjemsøgt af
Ildebrande, hvorved større og mindre Dele af Byen er
bleven lagt i Aske; men herved har den ogsaa i det
hele faaet en smukkere og regelmæssigere Bebyggelse.
Byen har en lærd Skole, en Bankafdeling, en
Kunstforening, betydelige Saug- og Møllebrug, Træsliberier,
Skibsværfter m. m. Udskibning af Trælast og
Skibsrederi ere dens væsentligste Næringskilder.

The harbour, formed by „Hortentangen" and
„Falken-stenslandet", and protected by the islets ofVealös and
Lövöerne, is excellent. Till 1886, Horten was a small
strand-village, with only 200 inhabitants, but since
then having been chosen as the head quarters of the
Norwegian fleet, it has thrived remarkably, and
contains at present 5,500 inhabitants. The dock-yards,
where ships both of wood and iron are built, are
provided with four slips, and one ship’s-dock, a mechanical
workshop, and a. poly technical school, where instruction

is strongly fortified on the land-side as well as on
the islands. There is an Observatory, a Magazine,
an infirmary, and a Museum. There is a
„Sökrigs-skole", a „Realskole", and a National Schol of a higher
grade. The shipping and trade of the town are
considerable. The church is an elegant structure. — In
the last years here has also been erected a
bathing-place, which now is much frequented.
84. View «f Sandefjord. Sandefjord
(Heiden-reich’s Hotel, Johnsen’s Hotel) has 2,400 inhabitants,
and is beautifully situated, at the extremity of the

the dignity of „Kjöbstad" in 1845, has a considerable
number of merchant vessels, several dock-yards, a
steam-mill, two churches, a town-hall, and a school-building:
