This is an old-fashioned Faroese decked fishing boat used in the 20th century. The Sluppungi has the same shape as a smack boat, but is much smaller, and only a few of these old-timers remain. These boats are built in the Faroe Islands and are therefore distinctively Faroese. Originally they were open boats without a wheelhouse.
Postcard size A5.
The postcard is printed on the Faroe Islands.
