Rufolfs smedje – the old ship smithy on Vesterbyvej was constructed in 1840. The museum acquired the smithy in 1987. After a comprehensive restoration it is now fully functioning as a working smithy, with the original inventory.
The museums cutter boat “Hansa” is a spinning rod cutter. It was built in 1924 by Brdr. Nippers skibsbyggeri in Skagen. When the cutter in 1990 was threatened by scrapping, the museum took the initiative to a rescue mission. “Hansa” was taken over by the museum and can know be seen in Skagen harbor.
