S/S Sigurd Jarl (1905)

 The Hurtigruten ship S/S Sigurd Jarl photographed by Anders B. Wilse in 1905. The 60.5 x 8.9 x 4.5 m Sigurd Jarl was built in 1894 by Akers Mekaniske Verksted A/S (Kristiania/Oslo) for Nordenfjeldske Damskibsselskab, Trondheim. She was sunk on April 23, 1940, in a German air raid close to Molde The wreck was salvaged, but it would have been too costly to repair the ship, which was scrapped in 1947.
