The Port of Copenhagen

“De Danske Sukkerfabrikker“ (K. 6) (The Danish Sugar Factories) and, next, the quays of “Kristiansgade“ ( I . K. 5 ) , used by the vessels carrying agricultural produce to England. Behind Kristiansgade we see the ancient “Bryghus“ (old brewery) and Tojhuset (arsenal) from the time of Christian IV (17th century). At this picturesque spot the Frederiks- holms Kanal flows into the channel. An electrically manipul­ ated flap bridge over this channel was opened to traffic in the summer of 1936. To the east of the channel are the Bur- meister & Wain factory and machine shops ( I . K. 6 ) , and, next, the refinery of the Danish Sugar Factories (1 .5 ). At the southern end of Kristiansgade is the second of the main bridges, viz. “Langebro“ connecting Amager and Zea­ land. Passing through Langebro, we enter the South Harbour. The South Harbour To the west is a row of coaling berths and depots called “Kalvebod Brygge“ (G .H . 4 ) with a depth of 6.9 metres,
