Sail training ship SØRLANDET

The Norwegian sail training ship Sørlandet, built by Høivolds Mek. Verksted (Kristiansand) in 1927. My restoration and colorization of an image in the M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark archive. The museum does not give a date, but I think the photo by an unknown photographer was shot in the 1930s.

"Sørlandet is a Norwegian heritage tall ship and one of very few full-rigged ships in the world. She is the senior of the existing Norwegian built square riggers, and for more than 50 years she held a central position in the education and training of young people. She is the second oldest of three Norwegian tall ships, the “Great Trio of Norway”, which besides her includes Statsraad Lehmkuhl and Christian Radich.
