Lars O. Brandal, who was born in 1862, tells Peter Karlsen

Fishing with Otters. The first year I fished was in 1878. I was then with my father, Olavius ​​Larsen Brandal's otter. Such an otter was about 27 cubits long. (from 21 – 27) But the boat measures were counted as 21, and they had three masts.
