Oslo fjord |
royjohan | My name is Roy Johannessen I'm looking for information about the Oslo Fjord i believe that was the name of the ship my parents came over on (March of 1950)
Thank You |
joallanb | Might be MS "Oslofjord" built in Netherlands and delivered in 1949 to "Amerikalinjen" (American linie).
I'll see if I can dig up some information about the shipping company and the actual ship a little later and post some links for you. |
Borge | Here is a picture of the ship:
