Norsk Veteranskibsklub

Norsk Veteranskibsklub (NVSK) is a Norwegian maritime heritage club based in Oslo, founded in 1964 with the purpose of fostering interest in Norway's maritime cultural heritage. The club is best known for owning and operating the historic steamship DS Børøysund, built in 1908, which today serves as a sailing, living cultural monument with its home port in Oslo. NVSK also offers the vessel for charter to associations, groups, companies, and private individuals seeking a unique experience in the inner Oslofjord, and provides guided tours and visits for school classes, businesses, and organizations. The club actively seeks new members and organizes events such as member meetings, maritime flea markets, and jazz events on the quay. Over its history, NVSK has also owned other historic steamships, including DS Pelle, DS Hestmanden, and DS Styrbjørn, which have since passed to new owners. As a membership-based association rather than a commercial corporation, NVSK operates as a non-profit entity dedicated to preservation and public engagement with Norway's steam-era maritime history.
