The municipality of Larvik is now doing more to honour the name of Thor Heyerdahl. During the course of a three year project we will strengthen the ties between Thor Heyerdahls name and Larvik so that the town becomes known as his hometown both in Norway and around the world. We will create new attractions and experiences based on core values such as innovation, adventurousness and sincerity.

HNoMS Thor Heyerdahl, a frigate of the Norwegian Navys Fridtjof Nansen class frigates is expected to be launched in 2009.  The ships home port will be Larvik.
