Photographers comment about this picture

Launched 17 October 1947 at Gothenburg, Sweden, by A/B Lindholmens Varv. as hull no. 996 for Den Norske Amerikalinje A/S.  422'5" x 54'1" x 23'4;"  3791 gt, 2177 nt;  one 7-cylinder Karlstads M/V Diesel, 630 x 1300mm, 4200-bhp.

Later *Amronto* (1970) and *Eastern Valour* (1976).  Broken up 1980 at Kaohsiung.

Shown at Navy Pier, Chicago, Illinois, USA, in full bunting celebrating Norwegian "Constitution Day," 17 May 1963.  During the '60s NAL and Olsen & Ugelstad operated a joint Great Lakes service named, appropriately, the Fjell-Fjord Line.  She needed some paint when I took this photo, but the *Lyngenfjord* was an absolutely gorgeous vessel nonetheless.
