M/S Nordstjernen

"Nordstjernen" - the oldest ship in the Hurtigruten fleet. This faithful old ship, that had its maiden voyage on March 1st 1956, has been serving along the Norwegian coastline ever since.
It will probably sail its last voyage into history in a not to distant future. I bet many will miss it :-/ Here seen on a southbound course
underneath the peaks of Lyngsalpene, Troms county, Norway, w/ Storgalten/1219m to the left, and Tverrbakktinden/1392m to the right.
EDIT 14.07.2015:
M/S Nordstjernen's last port of call was Bergen, on March 22nd 2012. It is now preserved and protected by law, as a relic from Norwegian naval history.
