it have been long time seens I was here. However, I´m rebuilding a coaster built in norway 1914.
Q: Where can I find some data, photo, etc. about the ship in Norway, the only thing I have is some call signs I found when i was waterblasting the cargo hold. The call sign are. LFJN and MVPT. I find some name also, something like ODENESS.

Please help me out with this problem,

Odeness could be Oddernes parish in Vest Agder fylke, or if it's not the entire word you've got, it could be Skudenes parish in Rogaland fylke.
At Oddernes (just outside Kristiansand) there used to be (still is?) a ship yard. Maybe your ship was built there?
