Icelandic ships. By Jón Björnsson.
There are four volumes in total, which contain information on almost all ships and boats that have been in Iceland from 1860 until the middle of this year. The history of the ships is described in detail from recorded sources, size, type, all registrations and deregistrations, owners and end if any. There are three thousand images in the work, some of which are very rare. The author of the work is Jón Björnsson from Bólstaðarhlíð in the Vestmannaeyjar Islands.
In the preface, Jón Björnsson says that the beginning of the work can be traced back to when he was visiting friends in the Vestmannaeyjar Islands many years ago. When he began to look at the pictures, countless memories from his childhood in the Islands came back to him. They ignited in him a desire to acquire pictures of as many Eyja boats as possible and he began collecting. It soon came to the point that Jón decided not to limit himself to just the Vestmannaeyjar Islands and that a summary of the history of each boat would need to accompany the picture.
