Slipshavn

Slipshavn is a peninsula off the east coast of Funen, Denmark. Together with Knudshoved to the north, it forms a natural harbor at Nyborg Fjord.

Slipshavn

History

A sconce was constructed at the site in 155657, which was used as a base by the naval ships guarding the traffic between Funen and Zealand. The fortification was expanded to its current state between 1801 and 1808. It was also used as a check point until the abolishment of the sound dues in 1857.[1] Following the outbreak of World War I, a base for seaplanes and submarines opened on the peninsula in 1916. After the end of the war, it was only used sporadically by small naval vessels and aircraft. During World War II, Slipshavn was used by the occupying German forces. Since the late 1940s, it has been used by the Danish Home Defense and since 1956 by the Danish Naval Home Defense.[1]

Today

The peninsula is now home to an educational facility operated by the Naval Home Defense. A wooden hangar from 1916 is still seen at the site.[1]

gollark: Nope, still installs `luabitop` and does the `bit.c:79:2: error: #error "Unknown number type, check LUA_NUMBER_* in luaconf.h"` thing.
gollark: Installing Lapis off LuaRocks seems to bring in an old version of `pgmoon` which requires `luabitop` which doesn't work beyond 5.2, is there a way to make LuaRocks pull directly off the git repository or something?
gollark: Huh. This does *also* look asynchronous. I guess I can probably deal with it being mildly less efficient, I don't need massive throughput.
gollark: I'm mostly just looking at options right now, wasn't aware there was a non-OpenResty way to use Lapis.
gollark: There seem to be some Lua SQLite3 bindings, but I worry that those would ruin performance because of not fitting into the non-blocking-IO thing.
