When I worked in Norway (for nearly 10 years) I saw and travelled on a lot of their boats but none that matched or allowed me to name ships like this -
 |
| Norway - 7 October 1893 North Norwegian Ships |
I've found some birds again this week from the Netherlands and Malawi.
 |
| Netherlands - 2 February 1999 100 years of Nature Preservation |
Platalea leucorodia is a spoonbill.
For the 'N' connection of the Malawi bird you have to know its Latin name.
 |
| Malawi - 13 November 1968 Netarinia senegalensis |

I do like the scarlet chest of this sunbird.
It looks like rough sailing for that North Norwegian vessel.
I like the connections you made. Sometimes I think you know the whole world!
Love a spoonbill. Yes I'd like to see those ships for real. One of the fascinations is they use small rocks for ballast and in stormy weather they roll out of the boat.
I am not the biggest fan of being on a modern ship, I can't imagine the courage and sense of adventure people had back then.
