På barnehjemmet Breidablikk i Hakadal stod på 1950-60-tallet et stort Tandberg Radiokabinett med et sølvskilt på hvor det stod: "Gave fra mannskap og offiserer fra MS Stavangerfjord til Breidablikk barnehjem." Hundrevis at timer satt jeg ved radiokabinettet og hørte på radiokanaler fra steder som Hilversum, Motala, Radio Luxemburg og selvfølgelig NRK. Som voksen trodde jeg at stemmen til han som leste opp børsnoteringer i NRK på 1950-60-tallet var spesielt stygg siden bank og børs var stygge ting rike folk drev med jamfør politikken den gang. Selv fiskerimeldingene var dønn kjedelige sendinger en liten gutt hørte på og jeg lurte lenge på hvor "Rockall" var. (En liten forblåst klippe ute i Norskehavet). Et solid Tandberg Spolebåndopptaker var gøyal opptaksmulighet og LP-plater av Elvis Presley og Cliff Richard og plystremelodien "Broen over Qwai", Nora Brockstedt og mye annet spennende for en liten gutt. Barndommens minner sitter fast i hjernebarken ennå.

Slett denne videoen. Det er bare rot og shit

God Båt, eller sikker , når ble det påbud med Livbåter på Norske ship, noen som husker det?

My grandpa come to the USA in 1928 on this ship.

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

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.

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 <3

Fantastisk fin film og nostalgi ,reiste med MS Oslofjord til Amerika i 1965 ,som 8 ring ,helt fantastisk .

Tack för denna fina film och tidsmaskin! Det finns ett liknande klipp om amerikabåten M/S Kungsholmen från 1954 tillgängligt på yt.czcams.com/video/ZmAMt91lWh4/video.html

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.

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?

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.

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.

Really Nice Video, Thanks from Sweden

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.
