DS Hansteen is a historical sail-steamship that was constructed in 1866 at Nylands mechanical workshop. The ship was built for Norway's geographical survey, also known as NGO, and was named in honor of the then head of NGO, Professor Christopher Hansteen. This ship represents a significant part of Norway's maritime history and is a testament to the country's rich seafaring tradition.
Current Status and Location of DS Hansteen
In 1986, DS Hansteen was taken over by the Foundation D/S "Hansteen" in Trondheim. Since 2015, the ship has been operated by MiST, following an agreement with the Foundation. The ship has undergone restoration works on both its hull and interior, preserving its historical integrity. Depending on the season, the ship can be found at different locations. During the winter months, it is located at the Maritime Museum, while in the summer, it is situated in Brattørabassenget.
