Christian Radich is a beautiful old sailing ship. Her homeport is Oslo, at Akershusutstikkeren below Akershus Fortress. From September to May the ship is out sailing, but in May she is back in Oslo. The ship is normally closed to visitors except groups on request. From the kiosk at the dock, you can sign up for membership in Friends of Christian Radich and buy souvenirs. In the summer you can join on the summer voyages. The ship has had a dramatic history as a sail training ship since its launch in 1937. The recent years, the ship has divided its time between the charter market, sightseeing tours, summer trips to foreign ports with paying trainees on board, the Tall Ships Races and large sailing events in various European ports.

DS Hestmanden is a sailing monument paying hommage to the Norwegian warsailors. The ship is the only remaining Norwegian vessel from the merchant fleet who provided supplies for the allied forces in both world wars. A hihlight of her career was when she took part in the allied forces' invation of Normandie, the "Operation Overlord" in June 1944. She miraculously avoided all attacks from submarines and bombs and was in active duty for more than 50 years before she was put out of business in 1964. She was built in 1911 and is currently in the final stage of complete restoration after 30 years of work. The museum will open for public in May 2017.
