Vippetangen in 1919.

Bjørvika with the NAL wharf. The passengership I think may be the Bergensfjord of 1956 https://digitaltmuseum.se/011015401245/foto-fran-1957-visande-turist-passagerarmotorfartyg-bergensford-av-bergen, the NAL cargocarrier the Lyngenfjord of 1948 https://skipshistorie.net/Oslo/OSL312DenNorskeAmeri

Time flies... Christian Radich in the foreground, tanker Sonja in the background, and a semingly pensive man, perhaps an old sailor. Who notes that ships are now so big they cannot be launched at the Aker yard. Like this one they must have their hull built elsewhere and towed to Oslo fortheir finis

Barque Lingard in the foreground, Aker yard with a NAL ship in the background. Must have been taken just before the war.

A few of the many recycled fishing vessels etc providing 'fjordtours' in Oslo, that until spring will decorate the city center with genuine plastic wrappings.

A couple of Northlandsboats, belonging to our maritime museum, getting a coat of Stockholm Tar today. The Color Fantasy in the background. They have a small basin where they keep a number of trad-boats in summer, just for the Japs to click at, but these two are too big for that. Never seen them bef

Oslo - then named Christiania - in the 1870'ies. The photo is captioned: "Bjoerviken ca. 1870. Holmsen copy." The brig was obviously a popular rig. I believe the brigs ability to stop and turn fast was much appreciated along our rocky shore. The three churches in the picture is still stand
