Gjøa, Museum ship at Fram Museum, Oslo, Norway

The 21.3-meter sloop Gjøa stands as a testament to maritime engineering inside the Fram Museum, displaying its wooden construction and arctic exploration modifications.

Built in 1872 in Rosendal, Norway, this sloop achieved fame as the first vessel to complete the Northwest Passage navigation under Roald Amundsen from 1903 to 1906.

The vessel represents Norwegian maritime excellence and Arctic exploration, connecting visitors to the nation's strong seafaring traditions and polar expeditions.

The Fram Museum provides guided tours of the Gjøa, allowing visitors to examine the vessel's construction details and learn about life during Arctic explorations.

A Canadian settlement in Nunavut, where the ship spent two winters during its Northwest Passage journey, bears the name Gjoa Haven in honor of the vessel.
