Good morning Alessandro, good morning everyone.
Apologies for the delay in replying, I couldn't get any links to work on the phone regarding the SS Nornen and trying to remember where I'd "safely "put a booklet that I had. Finally found it, hopefully everyone can enlarge the photos and not sure if the qi code on the last photo will work. Hopefully you'll get a bit more info about the Nornen.
Have a great day everyone 😀

Hi Doogle, what an interesting story and what a beautiful ship.
Can you give us some more information? Thanks for the images.

Following on from the post that Alessandro made earlier, thought I'd post a couple of photos of our shipwreck "SS Nornen " which ran aground in 1897. Fortunately, all were saved including the ships dog 🐕 😀. Haven't been down to visit the "old girl "recently due to the wife's health issues plus the dog's as I like to take photos of her and note any changes. The council at one point in time wanted to remove the remains due to health and safety concerns 😟. Thankfully though, common sense has prevailed and the old girl is left there to slowly rot in peace.
