I am looking for sources about Norwegian
whalers and sealer between about 1860-1890.
Or Norwegian ships that have been chartered
by Austrian or German expeditions during
that time. (e.g. the "Isbjörn" 1871,1872)
Thank you very much for helping !

I've never looked at this one very closely, but maybe it could give you a starting point at least?
