Belinda! These are the women in my illustration below. The piece was for a great story in the Big Issue, Stavanger. These two women had one of Europe's biggest shipping companies in the early 1900's. They wore mens clothes and traded all over the world as Mr Brummenes & Mr Torgersen. They spent their whole life together in this house and are buried next to each other. Business partners and Best friends - 2 women taking over the world of shipping!
