History of the programme

Several shipowners, including the "Blidökungen" Johan Österman, started a shipyard in 1876. Jonas Petter Elfving was appointed manager. Ships were built here using sustainable crawling technology instead of the traditional riveting technique. In 1918, steel ships began to be built and the name was changed to Furusunds Slip- och Varfs AB. In the 1930s and 1940s, there was also a shipyard for pleasure boats next to the shipyard, and there is still a small shipyard that carries on the traditions.
