From the marker:
"Baldur was the first general fishing boat in Iceland to be designed and built with the bridge on the front deck. It had a 40 ton fishing capacity.
The boat arrived in Keflavik 19th of March 1961 and was immediately put on use. Baldur KE 97 was in the ownership of Badur Co. for 25 years, thereafter mostly in he ownership of Nesfiskur Co. in Garður.
