Maud, Roald Amundsen 's polar ship

The ship is now situated at Tofte, so I went for a walk to see it today.
Maud, named for Queen Maud of Norway, was a ship built for Roald Amundsen for his second expedition to the Arctic. Designed for his intended voyage through the Northeast Passage, the vessel was built in Asker, a suburb of the capital, Oslo.
By the year 1917, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had already conquered the South Pole and Northwest Passage, establishing his reputation as a Polar powerhouse. But he wasn’t just about setting records—he was also interested in science and wanted to gather data on the Arctic Ocean and polar ice. To that end, he had a polar research vessel, which he named Maud. The ship sank in the pack ice in 1930 and were brought back to Norway for preserving.
