Ice-sawing in the Drammen River

At night, the salmon was transported down to Kristoffer Kulland. He lived down in Dynge and was the one who stored and packed the fish for shipment to Oslo. At Kulland's there was a large bin of ice packed in sawdust. This ice was often sawn down in Strykevja where the campsite is today. A man stood on the ice and sawed suitably large chunks with a handsaw with large teeth. With special scissors/tongs we tipped it onto the ice and from there onto a vehicle and drove up to Dynge. There it was stacked in a stack up to two meters high and chipped down. Here the ice stayed through the summer. Kulland packed the salmon in large wooden boxes of ice. These weighed about 200 kg and were not particularly well received by the staff at Hokksund station who had to handle them onto the train to Oslo. A regular customer for all years of Hokksund salmon was Mrs. Inger Sørensen, Fiskehallen.
