Wrecktec Posted 23 February , 2009 Share Posted 23 February , 2009 Hi Guys, Just a long shot, but I’m looking for a photograph of the 1,262-ton Norwegian passenger/cargo steamer NIDELVEN, which was built and completed by Trondhjems Mekaniske Verksteder at Trondheim as Yard No.134 in November 1908. She detonated a mine ands sank, 6-miles northeast of Coquet Island, on April 27th 1917; the mine having been laid the previous day by UC 29. Any guidance where could acquire one would be very much appreciated Cheers Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wightspirit Posted 23 February , 2009 Share Posted 23 February , 2009 Hi Ron You may have tried this already, but if not, I can recommend the Norwegian Maritime Museum in Oslo (snail mail address Norsk Sjofartsmuseum, Bygdoynesveien 37, NO-0286 Oslo, Norway). It is highly likely they can help - indeed, they have supplied me with photos of every single Norwegian ship lost in WW1 in my part of the English Channel (east Dorset & Wight area). In addition, there are lots of small museums up and down the Norwegian coast and I've picked up some real gems from them too. It'll be a question of googling something like 'maritime museum trondheim' and something's bound to come up. If you have no luck with Norsk Sjofartsmueum send me a PM - there are one or two old contacts I have which might be able to help. I have to say that out of all the countries I have enquired with re ships photos, the Norwegians have by far the best collections of photos and survivors reports.

My other suggestion (Norwegian Maritime Museum) was already given by Dave. Happy Hunting! -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
