DescriptionOld Harbour of Reykjavik (5897420133).jpg
The so-called Old Harbour of Reykjavik is the first lasting harbour of the town. It was constructed between 1913 and 1917 on the cove Reykjavik, after which the farm of the first settler and later the town were named. The Danish monopoly trading was moved from the spit of land called Orfirisey in 1780 to Reykjavik. During the 19th century the merchants constructed their own short and small piers as extensions from the warehouses into the cove. The municipal authorities did not participate until after 1850, when harbour pilots were engaged to ensure the safety of the seafaring people. A signal mark was built by the Akurey-reef in 1856 and the first tariff of the harbour was issued. A Danish engineer was hired to evaluate the harbour conditions and make suggestions for the harbour construction. The budget of the town was too low to accommodate the expenses of the project at the time and only minor improvements were carried out. After 1860 the municipality contracted the common use of the piers built and owned by the merchants and paid lease. In 1884 the municipality constructed the so-called Stone Pier.
