Richard, so sorry, only just checked in again. Thank you for such a fulsome reply. I haven't trawled all the sites yet, but the restoration project is a thundering good read. There doesn't seem to be a reply address to talk to the chap that is rebuilding her.

I've only been to Norway your side of the pond, although I did look down from the jet and charted the whole coast from the Frisian Islands, right up to and over Denmark, including that dirty girt bridge they've plonked in the creek there. Looks idyllic from above. I went to Trondheim, and Snilfjord a year ago. That is paradise on the rocks.
