DRAMMEN

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 546 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DIO-DRO
DRAMMEN , a seaport of Norway, in Buskerud and Jarlsberg-Laurvik amter (counties), at the head of Drammen Fjord, a western arm of Christiania Fjord, 33 M. by rail S.W. from Christiania. Pop. (19oo) 23,093. Its situation, at the mouth of the broad Drammen river, between lofty hills, is very beautiful. It is the junction of railways from Christiania to Haugsund,
Kongsberg
  and Hi nefos, and to Laurvik and Skien. The town is modern, having suffered from fires in 1866, 187o and 1880. It consists of three parts: Bragernaes on the north, divided by the river from Stri mso and the port, Tangen, on the
south
 . The prosperity of Drammen depends mainly on the timber trade; and saw-milling is an active industry, the logs beingfloated down the river from the upland forests. Timber and
wood
 -pulp are exported (over half of each to
Great
  Britain), with
paper
 , ice and some
cobalt
  and nickel ore. The
chief
  imports are British coal and German machinery. Salmon are taken in the upper reaches of the Drammen.
