  1. A Ship Named Thorstein (Þorsteinn)// long exposure at night on 35mm film in the shipyards of Reykjavik, Nov 2009 View larger I looked into Icelandic history for this boat’s namesake, but there are so many Thorsteins in the Icelandic and Norse sagas. A few candidates: Thorstein Svarfad, the son of Thrain the black giantThorstein Eriksson, the youngest son of Erik the RedThorstein the Red, did some conquering of northern ScotlandThorstein Erlingsson, the Icelandic poet, aetheist, and socialist…or maybe it’s Thorstein J, the Icelandic  television personality and co-host of talk show Ísland í dag. I found some images online of Thorstein, younger and operational, here and here

    I looked into Icelandic history for this boat’s namesake, but there are so many Thorsteins in the Icelandic and Norse sagas. A few candidates:

    Thorstein Svarfad, the son of Thrain the black giant
    Thorstein Eriksson, the youngest son of Erik the Red
    Thorstein the Red, did some conquering of northern Scotland
    Thorstein Erlingsson, the Icelandic poet, aetheist, and socialist
    …or maybe it’s Thorstein J, the Icelandic  television personality and co-host of talk show Ísland í dag.

    I found some images online of Thorstein, younger and operational, here and here
