Summary[edit]

Description

One the boats which Johan Olsen has built is Naddoddur.
Dansk: Den færøske bådbygger Johan Olsen har bygget flere både, bl.a. Naddoddur, som er en "seksæringur". Hans far og hans farfar var også bådbyggere. Der er kun få bådbyggere tilbage på Færøerne, og de har ikke lærlinge, så faget er i risiko for at dø ud om nogle år. Den færøske båd er noget helt særligt, men der findes lignende både som den færøske træbåd i Hardangerfjorden i Norge, så traditionen menes at stamme herfra, sandsynligvis er traditionen kommet til Færøerne med Vikingerne, som kom fra Norge.
Føroyskt: Johan Olsen er føroyskur bátabyggjari. Her er hann í ferð við at byggja ein føroyskan træbát. Pápi hansara og abbi hansara vóru eisini bátabyggjarar. Johan Olsen hevur bygt fleiri bátar, m.a. hevur hann bygt bátin Naddoddur. Johan Olsen býr á Tvøroyri og hevur sína verksmiðju har.
