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. |
