Who can help me with (inside) information about the sailing history of the NAL liner 'Oslofjord' (3)? She was built in 1949 in Amsterdam. I have pictures of the building of the ship but I need some stories and pictures of her sailing period. I like to write a story about this beautiful ship, she was the darling of the workers of the NDSM-yard were she was built.Thank you!
Simbro

There is an active 1700 member Norwegian Facebook group for people with an interest in ĞDen norske amerikalinjeğ. This is also the name of the group. At least three members state that they were on the crew of MS Oslofjord III during the last couple of years it sailed under NAL. I am sure the group will accept you as a member, and writing in English shouldn’t be a problem.

There is a 2014 book ĞDen norske amerikalinje: Passasjerskip 1940-1980ğ Note that this is the second book in a series with the same title but different subtitles.
