Hand colored slides. Rescue boat "Svolvær" sails. In the foreground stands a man dressed in oilskins and Southwest aboard another boat. -- per Google

Google didn't get one bit of the translation right. His hat is not a "Southwest" but a "sou'wester." The vessel has its own entry in the Norwegian Wikipedia -- nn.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS_«Svolvær» The class of vessel was designed by Colin Archer -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Archer. "Colin Archer (22 July 1832 – 8 February 1921) was a Scottish naval architect and shipbuilder from Larvik, Norway. His parents had immigrated to Norway from Scotland in 1825. He was known for building safe and durable ships including the Fram used in both Fridtjof Nansen's and Roald Amundsen's polar expeditions." Several are still in commission, although probably not as rescue vessels. See, for example, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_Society_for_Sea_Rescue#me... The last sentence of the Wikipedia page suggests that the "Svolvær," built in 1897, is still around -- in private hands.
