joallanbMight 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.
BorgeHere is a picture of the ship: [img]http://www.norwayheritage.com/gallery/gallery/Steamship_Companies/Norwegian_America_Line/ms%20oslofjord%201949.jpg[/img] It is the [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_ship.asp?sh=oslf3"]M/V Olslofjord (3)[/url] of the [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_shiplist.asp?co=nalaa"]Norwegian America Line[/url], built for the line in 1949.
joallanbHello again. For more info about the shipping company try one of the following links: [url="http://www.timetableimages.com/maritime/images/nal.htm"]a)[/url] [url="http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/NorwegianAmerica.html"]b)[/url] (pictures of the 1949 Oslofjord) There are several books about the company; i.e. this http://www.antiqbook.com/boox/kin/109486.shtml Hopefully this would give you enough information to find even other resources about the ship and the company.
