TRONDHIEM: NORWAY Located deep within Norway ' s rocky coast, just beneath the Arctic Circle, the bluff granite of Trondhiem ' s fjord was a welcome sight after MILWAUKEE ' S heavy schedule in the rough seas of the North Atlantic. Trondhiem, Norway was the MILWAUKEE ' S first port of the North Atlantic Cruise. A quiet town, Trondhiem is also the occasional residence of Norway ' s King Olaf. In ancient times, its fjord was a haven for Viking Longboats. Today, the Viking spirit is alive in Trondhiem. It is expressed through the fierce pride Norwegians have for their Viking ancestors. They are still people of the sea and made the sailors of the MILWAUKEE welcome in their city. BM3 Howard Urquhart buys hi s 16th hamburger from this street corner stand in Trondhiem. This is only my third hamburger. Really, honest, said Urquhart. QMSN Dave Dexter takes a break during the long Sea and Anchor detail necessary for the navigation of Trondhiem ' s fjord. Seamen Tom Classmeyer, Craig Walls and Billy Kenney search tor an open bar on Sunday. Although few stores were open, and the blue laws were tough, they did find one. But it didn ' t sell Old Milwaukee beer so they left. This river is Trondhiems heart. Because it is a perfect natural harbor and located deep within a winding fjord, it began as a base for Viking raiders. It developed into a leading port, and at one time helped bring Trondhiem to the position of capitol of Norway. Although the river is no longer used as a major harbor, it is lined with businesses and warehouses, and stands as a living link between the people of Trondhiem and their roots.

LEFT - YN3 Mike Novak leaning on one of Trondhiems more exotic inhabitants. He don ' t talk much, but he ' s easy to get along with, commented Novak, LOWER LEFT - YNl John Norris and sidekick RPSN Tank White hit the streets of Trondhiem. It ' s not just a job, its an adventure, the dynamic duo were heard to say before taking off for hamburgers. LOWER RIGHT - HM1 Don MacNaughton and BM1 Norm Depot sight seeing in Trondhiem. The Trondhiem fjord was wet and misty the day MILWAUKEE pulled in. During the trip up the fjord, the MILWAUKEE was often swathed in rainbows. At one point a rainbow curved over the bow of the ship and seemed to travel with us for several miles. It was quite a welcome after three weeks at sea.
