History
The Ship Sorlandet represents a unique heritage from the days of the
tall ships and fast clippers.
The Ship Sorlandet is the oldest of the three Norwegian Tall Ships.
She was newbuilding no.1 at Høivolds Mek. Verksted, a local shipyard
in Kristiansand.
The original capital was a legacy of 25,000 Pounds Sterling
established by shipowner O.A.T.Skjelbred. The Ship Sorlandet was
launched in 1927, measured 210 feet and 577 gross tons. She had no
engines. Through "Sørlandets Seilende Skoleskibs
Institution"( a school/institution for seafarers to be), she
became a vital part in the education of young seamen from the southern
region of Norway called Sørlandet.
On her maiden voyage to Oslo in 1927, Sørlandet was inspected by HM
King Haakon and HRH Crown Prince Olav. Later in the same year she
sailed for London with 90 young boys on board.
One of her highlights was the cruise to the World Fair in Chicago in
1933. Being the first Norwegian training ship to cross the Atlantic,
she actually served as the Norwegian pavilion during the exhibition
"A Century in Progress".

I'm intrigued as to why she is flying a Canadian flag in the North Sea.
Very nice capture by the way.
