Maud (ship)

Maud, named for Queen Maud of Norway, was a ship built for Roald Amundsen for his second expedition to the Arctic. Designed for his intended voyage through the Northeast Passage, the vessel was built in Asker, a suburb of the capital, Oslo.

After a difficult career as the Maud, she was sold in 1925 and rechristened the Baymaud. She sank in Cambridge Bay in 1930 and spent nearly eight decades laying as a hulk off the shore of the community. The vessel was refloated in 2016 and in 2018 was returned to Norway, where preservation of the historic craft was begun.
