With this book, Sune Joensen pays a rare tribute to the vessel that helped make overseas fishing possible for the Faroese.

Despite having been scrapped by the English, the smacks were a pillar in Faroese trade and industry for a long time.

The first smack was purchased in 1872. It has therefore been 150 years since the dawn of the industry that would completely change Faroese society.

But how did men sail across seas with these vessels? How were they equipped?

Sune has documented and drawn even the most minute details of the smack and explains the purpose and name of every single part of the ship.
