Does anyone have a picture of this vessel, run by A.B.Bull and launched in Tønsberg on 31st Jan 1868, made several runs to NZ... I have two pictures but am not sure if it is infact the Høvding. Would greatly appreciate any leads.
Thank You all very much who have helped!!!

A photograph of Tønsberg, 1868, the same year that the "Høvding" was built at the A. B. Bull shipyard. The 3 masted ship on the right of the picture is believed to be the "Høvding" being 'fitted out' at a berth close to where she was built. The physical size of the ship tends to equate to the known dimensions.
