HNoMY Norge (in Norwegian, KS or K/S Norge)[1] is the Royal Yacht of the King of Norway. One of only three remaining Royal Yachts in Europe,[2] the ship's name Norge is Norwegian Bokmål for Norway. The Royal Yacht Norge was the Norwegian people's gift to King Haakon VII in 1947. The yacht is owned by the King but maintained and crewed by the Royal Norwegian Navy. Originally built in 1937 in the United Kingdom for Thomas Sopwith, she served in the Royal Navy as an armed yacht during the Second World War.
