Norðlýsið varð bygd á Tórshavnar Skipasmiðju og latin fyrsta eigaranum tann 5. mai 1945. Bygginummar: 2
Skipið hevði sluppsegl meðan tað var í vinnu sum fiskiskip inntil 1980'ini, tá skift varð til skonnartsegl í sambandi við at Tróndur Patursson stóð fyri at seta skipið í stand.
Birgir Enni førdi skipið frá fyrst í 90'unum til hann legði frá sær í 2019. Hann hevur lagt lunnar undir tann alsk ið føroyingar sum útlendingar hava til blámálaða skipið. Aðrar hendur eru nú á stýrisvølinum, men hansara sjómanskapur og blíðskapur er alsamt ein fyrimynd fyri víðari rakstrinum.
Partafelag TN24 eigur og rekur skipið. Endamálið er at vinna til rakstur og víðlíkahald við at veita gestum frálíkar upplivingar á sjónum undir tryggum umstøðum og við hugnanum í hásæti.
The Norðlýsið is 18,82 meters long, 5,21 meters wide and 2,32 meters deep. BRT is 44,71 and NRT is 5,21.
The engine is a 195 kW Volvo Penta from 2020. The main mast is 23 meters long from keel to top. We normally carry five sails but are also equipped with two topsails for special occations.

The Forecastle

There is ventilation with fresh air that can be heated and exsuction to remove any smells or damp. Along the sides of the room are padded benches, and behind them are fourteen comfortable bunkbeds with curtains for privacy.

The toilets
There are two modern push-button toilets onboard the Norðlýsið. A toilet by the ladder from the deck and a larger toilet & shower in the front of the ship.
The Faroese artisan and actor Nicolai Falck designed and crafted both toilets. The task being to follow the spirit of the ship as much as possible. We are extremely satisfied with the result, and think you will be too.
