ARENDAL

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 452 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
ARENDAL , a seaport of Norway, in Nedenaes amt (county), on the south coast, 46 m. N.E. from Christiansand. Pop. (190o) 11,155. It rises picturesquely above the mouth of the river Nid,with a good harbour protected by an island from the open waters of the
Skagerrack
 . The town itself occupies several islets, and some of the houses are supported above the water on piles. The
chief
  exports are timber (very largely exported to Great Britain),
wood
 -pulp, sealskins and felspar. In 1879 Arendal ranked second (after Christiania) as a ship-owning port; in 1899 it had dropped to the fifth place. In and near the town are factories for
wood
 -pulp,
paper
 ,
cotton
  and joinery; and at Fevig, 8 in. north-
east
 , a shipbuilding yard and engineering works. The neighbourhood is remarkable for the number of beautiful and rare minerals found there; one of these, a variety of
epidote
 , was formerly called Arendalite. Louis Philippe stayed here for some time during his
exile
 .
