    Notes:

    Church records show that Maarten was born on February 16th 1823 as "Morten Andreas" son of Johannes Magnus and Anna Maria Catherine Von Krogh. He lived with his parents at the Haagenvik estate. Morten Andreas Magnus-Haagenvig was married at 29 to Britha Andersdatter-Vaagen, aged 24 1/2, on April 13th 1852 in Imsland. Prior to his marriage to Britha, Morten, at the age of 24, had a son (out of wedlock) through a liaison with one Martha Johannesdtr Tangen, age 30 [see notes on Martha]. Story tells us that Martha was a housekeeper at the Haagenvik estate. The birth of a son to Morten and Martha was verified from the Vikedal church records. The son, Johannes, apparently was raised by Morten and his wife Britha. The 1865 census for Vikedal, shows that on the Haagenvik farm lived a Maarten (Morten) Magnus(42) a farmer, farm owner and boat-builder; Britha Andersdatter(37), his wife and Johannes(8), Additional children of Morten/Britha were Katrina(11), Martha(4), Anna(2) and Johanna(3mos.). Subsequently, Morten and Britha, had another son named Anders. Anders later on, married Edvardine Bjørnsen, sister of Elisabeth Olava Bjørnsen (the mother of Alan Mortensen).

    Morten was the greatest shipbuilder in Rogoland county, having built 44 ships in the period from 1857 to 1883. . Morten A. Magnus started as a book printer apprentice with Kielland in Stavanger in his young days, but decided to go to sea and since became a master seiner with the district priest Løberg in Vikedal. But he wanted to learn ship construction, and he ended up pursuing his education with the renowned ship constructor Knud Nielsen in Stavanger.
    Morten and his older brother Frederik built more than 60 sail ships, most of them drafted by Morten A. Magnus, and they also operated more shipyards than the one at Hogganvik. They founded shipyards in Sandeid, Vats, Kvaley, Finnvik, Marvik, Ilsvåg, and other places. The shipyard at Hogganvik was the largest, and more than 200 men worked there. The salaries were 73 ore a day during the winter and 90 ore during the summer. One of the few intact items from this period is an accounting book from the latter part of the 1870's. This book states that many of the employees received part of their salary in the form of goods, and the remaining salary was paid in full in cash. In the book a statement is made about one certain employee that received 6 kg of rye and 6 kg of grit/peeled grain for 1.07 ore and 1.40 ore respectively. Additionally, he received a ¼ kg of coffee for 45 ore, 1/2 kg butter for 0.68 ore, 1 piece of pork for 1.75 Kroner, 4 cans of gasoline for 1 Krone, 1 pound of tobacco for 1.60 Kroner and he also granted himself a plate of sugar for 67 ore as well as a pencil for 7 ore. In the accounting book there is also a peculiar notice about the number of plugs used to cover the rivets used on the ship that was being constructed at that time. "13900 plugs were used for this ship. The carpenter was paid 41.60 Kroner" is written in the book. The carpenter Vigleik Brakjen did not receive much of a salary for his work. It is also said about the carpenter that when the flow in the river next to his workshop reached minimum levels, he turned the lathe himself.
    Due to the many shipyards, workers from across the nation were attracted. All of the workers did not have the seriousness about them that was required in the carpenter business at the time. It was not without reason that the officials in Vikedal made a statement to the county representative to fix the problem. In the statement it was written that, "as a consequence of the shipyards increased productivity, a large amount of workers have been employed" and the county representative was asked to "develop a royal resolution so that street rioting, loud noise, public dancing, card playing and other entertainment is stopped at a certain time of the evening, and that this resolution will be the general law regarding these matters in the shipyard's surrounding districts." In Hogganvik, the frigate >Særimner< was launched in 1878 - at the time the largest ship built in Norway, and certainly one of the most beautiful. It weighed in at 1366 tons n.r. Neither the shipyard owners nor the ship -owner made any profit off of that ship, from what is said. The ship cost 200,000 Kroner to build. It was shipwrecked on a coral reef in the Gulf in 1907. There were many different types of boats built at Hogganvik, yacht (jakter), galeas (galeaser), schooner (skonnertskip), and brig (brigger) such as >Garibaldi<, frigate (fregatter) as >Njord<, >Dictators and >John Haugvaldstad<, barcue (barker) as Myopia<, >President<, ~Patria<, >Poseidon<, >Ths. Falck<, and others. But the big decline in the sailing ship industry came in 1858 and with it the end of the shipyard at Hogganvik.
