SS STAVANGERGJORD, retired in 1964 in near perfect condition, with two quadruple expansion steam engines (with rods that don't knock), sad indeed! Our Norwegian friends have saved so many steamboats and smaller steamships in their land, it's too bad this liner could not have been saved also. Very hard to do, I know - Americans save nothing. Thanks for the great film.
My dad is printing the menus at 27:58. I sailed with my parents in 1964 or 1963 Stavanger - Copenhagen - Kristiansand ( or Kristiansand - Copenhagen )- Oslo. Thanks for sharing mr. Hugo Jensen.
Thank you for this great video! I've been trying to find info on the ship my dad came to America in 1951, his papers said Stavangerfjord. He possibly boarded in Oslo, from Denmark. In 1961, our family took a NAL liner from New York to Oslo 7 days, This may have been the ship then too, I am researching more. I wish they showed the staterooms, i remember well, also our ship had an indoor pool on lower deck. Remember the plates with NAL and still have ships stationary. Being curious at age 6, i investigated all the decks, even looked in the engine rooms that were not locked back then. I followed the maids, my parents reported me lost and feared i went overboard LOL I remember 'my' steward Tor. It was a joyous trip I'll always remember. Onward to Denmark, Norway and Sweden. If you have any info on what other ships were used at this time, please let me know, thanks.
Together with stavangerfjord also the 2 other Nal oceanliners MS Oslofjord and MS Bergensfjors were in traffic in 1961. From oslo they stopped and picked up passengers i Copenhagen on the way too New York !
@@TheClipper7 'Tak' for getting back so quickly. Yes I know of these other two, so i will need to go thru any info my mother may have had as to which one. Oslofjord sounds familiar to me. Wish there was a passenger list online, I've looked. But good to know they were sailing in 1961. Enjoying so much watching videos of all the ships from even 1800's, can see how a passion for them can develop. Wish there were more on the interiors, actual footage like the one you did.
Min far seilte som byssegutt i 55-56 tror jeg det var. Kun for å komme til N.Y for å høre jazz. Synd han ikke kunne spe på med info her. Han døde i 2008.
Tack för denna fina film och tidsmaskin! Det finns ett liknande klipp om amerikabåten M/S Kungsholmen från 1954 tillgängligt på yt.th-cam.com/video/ZmAMt91lWh4/w-d-xo.html
This is AWESOME!!! My parents, my sister and myself sailed on this ship in 1957 from Oslo to New York, I still have photos of that trip
Fantastisk fin film og nostalgi ,reiste med MS Oslofjord til Amerika i 1965 ,som 8 ring ,helt fantastisk .
I went across on this ship in 1956. I never thought I would hear the dinner chimes again (at 11:30 and 27:30). Many sweet memories of that trip.

My mother sailed home on that ship after spending a year in Boston in 1963.

God Båt, eller sikker , når ble det påbud med Livbåter på Norske ship, noen som husker det?
Thank you so much for posting this. I remember know when I was little I sailed with my family on the last voyage from New York to Norway. Is this it?
Yes this is the Journey, but the voyage to New York. You came onboard when it went back to Oslo.
