Norwegian WW II ships

PLEASE NOTE that all the pictures linked in bold text are within my own website, while all others are links to external sites. The pictures marked "R. W. Jordan collection" were sent to me by him for inclusion on this website. Remember that there's a copyright on some of these pictures, most of them are not mine to give away.

For your information, the Australian War Memorial has several photos of Norwegian (and other) ships; I've included a list of them within the table below - they can can be found through the collection search page of the site. Lillesand Sjømannsforening also has several pictures of Norwegian ships (in alphabetical order).

Unfortunately, some of the websites that I've linked to below seem to have disappeared off the net, and I can no longer find them using Google, but I've left the links as they are, in case the sites come back up again.

Aerial starboard bow view of the Norwegian cargo steamer Fingal which was torpedoed and sunk by a Japanese submarine, probably I-180, off Nambucca Heads on a voyage from Sydney to Darwin on 1943-05-05.
