Description:

View from an upper floor of building 56 to the collapsed building 58 with destroyed roof truss, on which wooden crates still lie, and to the collapsed double quay. In the background, on Ungsmaløya Island, the harbour view of buildings 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 76, 77 and 83 with double chimney can be seen. Building 77 has partially collapsed overhanging the pier. Both storey levels of the double quay in front of building 76 have collapsed. A boat is jacked up with its keel pointing upwards under the upper, roofed quay of building 72. The sunlit façades of the harbour buildings and the pier with the boat are reflected in the harbour basin. Small islands in the North Atlantic can be seen behind the pier.
