| Crewlist for SS Oscar II |
| Charol Cordova | Where might I find the crewlist of the SS Oscar II sailing out of København, Denmark between 1906 - 1910?
Thanks.

| thelebrity | I think the best you could do is sending an email to Erhvervsarkivet in Århus, Denmark. You will find a link at the site of the danish Rigsarkivet. They sent me copies of the ship-owner's scrap book and some other documents concerning the Oscar II accident in 1903, when the ship sprang leak and had to seek harbour in the Azores.

Is that the kind of information you could share, to put up on the Oscar II page?

| thelebrity | Of course, but It's quite some material, and it's more than one version of exactly what happened. I could make an extract and point to the various sources when they differ. I have also found an Aftenposten article about S/S Oslo before it's first trip in may 1906. The journalist is getting "the grand tour" onboard the ship describing both first, second and third class accommodities. If you're interested I could send you the text of that article too. But I'm afraid I don't have the capacity at the moment to translate them into english.

| Borge | To make this web site a good resource for the visitors we relay on help from our friends, so your generous offer is much appreciated.
I think this is information that would be of great interest to many people. If you send it in Norwegian I will make the translations and put it up on the site.

I just had news from my friend Søren Thorsøe, who is the author of a new book about the Thingvalla and Scandinavian America Line (which will be released soon). He told me that there are crew lists for each voyage and they are at:

| Freda Schurr | Do you have a passanger list for Oscar 11 leaving Norway (not sure from where) for America in 1908..I know pretty broad topic but any help would be most appreciated.

| thelebrity | If you make a search for a common name like Hansen at the Ellis Island databse, then narrow the search to 1908 and Oscar II, you should be able to browse through a scanned image of the complete passenger list of every journey the Oscar II made (if there was a Hansen or Olsen or what name you have chosen for your search, on board).
