| Other sites with information about SAL:s ships |
| The purpose of this site is primarly to describe the culture and people on board the "White Viking Fleet" - the emigrants, the tourists, and the business travelers who crossed the stormy North Atlantic to reach America, - and the cruise members, sailing smoothly from port to port in a world of luxury, many of them coming back for a new cruise, time and time again, - and, of course the crew, who worked and lived on the ships for months and years, regarding them as their homes. For more detailed technical information regarding the ships, however, we recommend the following fine sites: Kommandobryggan, which also features a fleetlist and photos of SAL's freighters, The Great Ocean Liners, Fakta om fartyg |
