Annotation

This song is a tribute to the steam ship Oster (built 1908). It was written to commemorate the vessel's 56 years in service as it was taken out of service in 1964.

The lyrics, written by Ragnvald Hammer in 1953, was printed in Bergens Tidende (local newspaper) in the spring of 1963. Ivar Medaas composed the melody the same year.
