Two Norwegian ships of the Fjell Line arrived in Toronto from Norway yesterday afternoon, opening navigation from Europe to the Great Lakes. They were the Ornefjell and Tabor-fjell. Both names are well known In shipping circles here, but the two ships are new. The Ornefjell made three trips to Palestine during the winter months, where she loaded fruit for London, then came across the Atlantic to the Great Lakes. Taborfjell is on#ier maiden voyage. The old ships that carried these names were sold last winter, and re-named by their new owners, hence these two ships carrying the old names. Since the last Fjell ship cleared Toronto last fall, three new ships have been launched by the company for Great Lakes-European trading, it was learned. The third ship is the Ravnefjell, which is on her way here. They are the same in practically every detail as the last group built for the Norwegian company, except that these latest ships are oil-burning ; instead of coal-burning ships. They have a length of 258 feet, breadth of 41 feet and capacity for eight passengers, excellent dining room and lounge, finished in Norwegian oak. 3
