You can find treasures both carried over to Raahe by ships from faraway countries and products made by our skilful local craftsmen. Our product offering is created in the spirit of the 1870 freight bill of the Lang sailing ship, and we import small quantities of special delicacies and other products from the same port towns as the sailing ships of the trade house used to bring!
