Norske Løve (1704)

Norske Løve[1] was a ship with 36 cannons owned and operated by the Danish East India Company.

The ship's bell is dated to 1704, although a Norske Løve was recorded as running a cargo of slaves for the Danish East India Company in the Indian Ocean in 1682.

Similarly, a Norske Løve is recorded calling at the Danish colony of Tranquebar in 1690 and 1706,[2] although this may have been one of the numerous Dano-Norwegian Navy vessels of that name.

A poem (folk song) about the event is commonly used accompanied with the Faroese chain dance in the Faroe Islands, it is written in Danish.

[4] The Faroese author Jógvan Isaksen has written a crime novel with the title Norska Løva, published in 2010.
