MS Oslofjord was an ocean liner built in 1938 by A/G Weser Shipbuilders, Bremen, Germany, for Norwegian America Line.
The Oslofjord was powered by four seven-cylinder diesel engines from Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg AG, which acted on two propellers.
The shipping company Den Norske Amerikalinje was founded in 1910 to establish a passenger service between Norway and the United States.
Their ships served the Oslo – Kristiansand – Stavanger – Bergen – New York route.
[2][3] During World War II, Oslofjord sank after just two years of service on the night of 21–22 January 1941 after hitting a mine in the North Sea off the coast of England of the River Tyne on 1 December 1940.
