SS Stord I

SS Stord I

The Norwegian vintage steam ship SS «Stord I» was built as «Stord» in 1913 and delivered from Laxevaag Maskin- og Jernskipsbyggeri in Bergen, Norway to Hardanger Sunnhordlandske Dampskipsselskap (HSD). 376 gross tons.

The vessel sailed in regular traffic from 1913 to 1969. SS «Stord I» is a typical representative of the local passenger steamers built for operating between Stavanger-Sunnhordland-Hardanger and Bergen.

In 1931, SS «Stord I» was rebuilt and modernised. 465 gross tons.

In 1949 she was again rebuilt as a motorship with the installation of two, 12-cylinder Paxman-Ricardo diesels. 469 gross tons.

In 1969 she was sold to Oslo Krets av det Blå Kors and renamed MV «O T. Moe». She was berthed in Oslo as floating welfare center for alcoholics.

In 1980 she was sold to Norsk Veteranskibsklub and transferred to Veteranskipslaget Fjordabåten, Bergen with a view to preservation. She was restored to 1931-condition, including the installation of engines from a 1942 steam-driven British vessel. Technical trials were run. Gutted by fire on rout from Sunnhordland to Bergen on May 20, 1987.

The ship is under restoration again by Veteranskipslaget Fjordabåten. Technical trials were run in August 2005.
