Description
Fram (“Forward”) is a ship that was used in expeditions of the Arctic and Antarctic regions by the Norwegian explorers Fridtjof Nansen, Otto Sverdrup, Oscar Wisting, and Roald Amundsen between 1893 and 1912.
The Fram was probably the strongest wooden ship ever built.
Fram is said to be the wooden ship to have sailed farthest north (85°57’N) and farthest south (78°41’S). Fram is currently preserved at the Fram Museum in Oslo, Norway.
