The Factory Ship Rosshavet
Rosshavet in Cape Town for bunkers and stores
on her way home to Norway after the 1947-1948 season. She was registered in
Sandefjord and powered by two 7 cylinder, supercharged B & W main engines,
producing 7,500 shaft horse power each. Rosshavet was later to be converted into
a drill ship.

The "Dobbie-McInnes" Indicator Gauge
from the factory ship Rosshavet. (Ross Sea) This is the condition it is
in today and it is a credit to the Chief Engineer who obviously looked after it
very well. It is complete with all springs, rules and even has a little of the
lubricating oil left in the bottle. (Centre right.)
