The Royal Yacht "Norge"



The Royal Yacht Norge was a gift from the people of Norway to King Haakon VII in 1947, purchased in the wake a nationwide collection effort. The ship is owned by His Majesty The King, but is manned and maintained by the Royal Norwegian Navy. The Royal Standard is flown from the aftermost mast when the King is on board the Royal Yacht.

It was informative to learn that the Royal Yacht "Norge" had previously been used for Atlantic duty as the British convoy escort vessel HMS Philante during the Second World War.
 
Such a majestic looking ship.
