| Historic Vessel Vega |
Historic Vessel Vega, built-in 1892 by Ola Nerhus at his boatyard in Olve, Norway. Nerhus designed Vega to carry heavy concentrated cargo for trade in the North Sea and Baltic Sea. More than 125 years later Vega is still working. Since 2004 she carries free school and health supplies to remote islands in eastern Indonesia and to East Timor.
Because Olve is in Norway, we have to see how far it is from Bergen, especially since we were just there. Olve (there's no I, so it's not Olive) is about 30 miles (as the crow flies) south-southeast of Bergen, about twice that by land, or 50 miles by water:
