Thanks Jens and Rick for your contributions and researches.
I have found some more info about „Gloppen“: Gloppen is a municipality in the county of Sogn og Fjordane, Norway. There is also a “Gloppenfjord” in the inner section of the Nordfjord.
See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloppen

How ever – I agree with Jens: She could be a Globben without any problems! ;-)

Gloppen hell Jens, what a wonderful shot by rascala! .... you won't believe this> I just googled it and here is a definition: "To surprise or astonish; to be startled or astonished."

And no, I did not make it up....
How very apt.
Regards, Rick

Don't know if "Gloppen" has any meaning other than being just a name, but somehow she looks like a Gloppen. The name fits:-))
Excellent photo of an unusual ship (at least to me)...
Cheers, Jens
