Vintage Photos Depicting Unidentified Ships Of Yesteryear
posted by Ookpik at 6:01 PM
I began my interest in vernacular photography by a chance acquisition of over 10,000 negatives dating from the late 1920's through the early 1970's. Luckily, I knew what I had was something more than "someone's old pictures." This cache of old images became the impetus for me to create two Photoblogs: Ookpik’s Negativity and Mystery Ships Of The Great Lakes. Ookpik’s Negativity contains photos that I would like to know more about while Mystery Ships Of The Great Lakes features photos of ships that I am trying to identify.

The stack insignia is that of Olsen & Ugelstad, Oslo, Norway.
Looks very similar to the Veslefjell: http://www.vos.noaa.gov/MWL/april_05/shipwreck.shtml
Hi Mike,
You are correct, that is indeed a Norwegian ship from the Olsen & Ugelstad lines. I don’t think it is the Veslefjell though. A fellow from Australia thought it might be the Makefjell. Since, the ship name appears to contain an “N,” I don’t think it is the Makefjell either. Thus, it will still remain a Mystery Ship
