| Has anyone run across any information on the MS (motor vessel) Nordbygden (merchant marine) out of Norway which sank the North sea in November of 1893? |

Have you tried:
www.warsailors.com
Lots of links and information on the Norwegian Merchant Marines. |

Yes, I have tried that site. It's a good site as far as it goes, but most of the information does not go far enough back in history. Unless there is a link I missed when I was checking it out, I couldn't find the Nordbygden there in 1893.
Thank you for the suggestion though. |

| Have you tried contacting Siri at Warsailors, she might be able to get you some clues to research further. I believe they have a message board, also. |

In checking out Warsailors again, I posted a message on their message board.
It was called to my attention that what I am looking for may be a barq by the name of Nordbygd that was lost in the North Sea in 1893. They promised to send more information if I replied, which I did, but so far I have not heard anything more. Does anyone on this message board have or know how to find information on it? |

| It is possible to check in the old newspapers if you know the date. |

According to Bruksnr. 9 of the Listaboka II, it was November of 1893. "Julius Gabrielsen 1860-1893, styrmann....Han omkom ved <<Nordbygden>> s forlis i Nordsjøen i november 1893. " As far as I can tell (since I don't speak Norwegian nor do I read it) this translates to: he was a first mate and perished on the Nordbygden which was wrecked in the North Sea in November of 1893. How do I access the newspapers?
Thank you, |
