Summary

Photograph from the Arbon-Le Maistre Collection of ships, mostly from the 20th century, and including virtually all the ships which carried post-World War II migrants to Australia. The Aalborghus (II), built in 1936, and owned by the Danish shipping company Det Forenede Dampskibs Selskab (DFDS) in Copenhagen. The ship was only used on various domestic routes in Denmark and between the two Scandinavian capitals of Oslo and Copenhagen. Aalborghus was laid up in 1967 and sold for scrap in 1968, but resold to the yard Burmeister & Wain for use as an accommodation ship named Øbo. Sold again for scrapping in Rotterdam and sank in September 1972 whilst under tow.
