On the Aftenposten web-site (the red link above), there is also news about the possible demise of the famous luxury passenger ship, the Norway.

The Norway started life as the France as a transatlantic Liner in 1961 (just as the Jet Age took off.) The French never could make a franc off her and sold her to a Norwegian cruise line who renamed her the Norway.

It's one of the last steam-powered ships and one of her boilers blew in Miami a few years ago, and replacing it is economically unfeasible.

The "Norway" was more of a cruise ship than an ocean liner, right? Correct, or not?

I have seen advertisements for the "Norway" cruises since--well, since God was a boy, or something.

Is there any talk in Norway, of preserving this wonderful historic artifact, just like the Viking ship?
