Some of my ancestors were seaman, last know to have sailed out of Kragerø. The earliest ancestor was married in 1694 somewhere in Norway and was said to have died at sea. I would like to find information about Norwegian ships of commerce to get a picture of what life was like for my ancestors. I know there won't be pictures but there might be drawings. Any ideas or places for me to look will be appreciated. Thank you.
