Did You Know

...identical Norwegian Lady Statues commemorating a shipwreck are located in the sister cities of Moss, Norway and Virginia Beach, Virginia facing each other across the ocean?

Except that they're not actually facing each other. The one in Virgina Beach is looking almost straight east while the one in Moss is looking straight south. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.113.104.58 (talk) 01:42, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

photo[edit]

we could still use a photo for this article if anyone else can help. I haven't been able to locate one in the Public Domain. Vaoverland 01:17, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Anything in the U.S. from before 1923 is in the public domain, if you weren't aware. Surely there's an old photo?--Pharos 01:39, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- - Re an old photo, you would think so, I have checked LOC and Virginia sources. Lots of photos on web searches, just none PD. I have come up dry, except for an old postcard of the figurehead, which would qualify for use. Vaoverland 02:13, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
