A very rare original vintage poster issued by Det Nordenfjeldske Dampskibsselskab (NFDS) depicting their fleet DS "Prins Olav", DS "Dronning Maud" and DS "Prinsesse Ragnhild" at sea inside a fjord with steep mountains in the background.
DS Prins Olav earlier known as HMY Alexandra was a steamship built as a British royal yacht, completed in 1908. Normally transporting Britain's royal family to European ports, Alexandra served as a hospital ship during the First World War. After 17 years of British service, she was sold to NFDS in 1925. DS "Prince Olav" was sunk by German bombers in July 1940.
