A Norwegian museum ship with a rich maritime history is set to visit the country's most easterly town.
The Gamle Oksøy, a former Norwegian coastal administration vessel, will arrive in Lowestoft harbour on June 20 as part of a European voyage promoting lighthouse heritage.
During her working life from 1962 to 1996, she was used to supply offshore and remote lighthouses around the Norwegian coast.
Now serving as a floating museum, the Gamle Oksøy is partnering with the European Route of Lighthouses (ERoL) to highlight the importance of lighthouse history across Europe.
During its Lowestoft stop, the ship will be open to the public on Sunday, June 21, from 1pm to 4pm.
Onboard exhibitions, lectures, and shore-based activities will showcase the legacy of Scandinavian lighthouses and coastal culture.
The crew and ERoL delegates also plan to visit nearby lighthouses in Southwold and Happisburgh during their stay.
The Gamle Oksøy will depart on June 24 for Fraserburgh in Scotland, home to the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses.
