Disaster Emigrant Norway Ship near Aden april 1958
Manke_visser	Hello, In april 1958 near Aden, the Dutch liner ms Johan van Oldenbarnevelt picked 700 emigrants from Norway up out of sea. There must have been a disaster with that Norwegian ship. Can anybody tell me te name of that Norwegian Liner with emigrants? What happened with that ship? Does anybody has pictures of this rescue? I hope to find pictures with both the survivers and the ms Johan van Oldenbarnevelt. Many thanks! Marco van Tol Netherlands

Are you sure it was norwegian? Have you read [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TSMS_Lakonia"]this[/url]? Jan Peter
