Wreck of the FMS Northern Star

The wreck of the FMS Northern Star is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4. It is populated by ghoulified raiders that speak Norwegian.

Layout
Enter by climbing the metal crates inside the wreck and go toward the ship's stern, up a flight of stairs. When you board the deck, make your way towards the bow, to a lifeboat lowering the player down.

There is a Cooking station located on the top deck right before the wooden shacks at the front of the ship and a Chemistry station in the wooden shacks.

Notable loot

 * Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor - upper level, mid-deck, on the parasol table with radio on.
 * Agility bobblehead - Right on the very bow of the ship, in the upper room, hanging in a piece of wood at the end of the boat.
 * Stealth Boy sitting on a toilet under the shacks near the front of the ship.
 * Mini Nuke on top of a yellow wooden crate next to the terminal near the front of the ship.
 * Fusion core in a generator on the ground level near the bow of the ship.

Bugs

 * When boarding the boat lift to go down only the control button goes down while the boat stays put.


 * It is possible to become stuck on mid deck at the south middle between 4 rusted crates.


 * Near where you find the bobblehead, it is possible to jump to the north side of the winch and become stuck.


 * When shooting Rags off the top deck of the ship, his body can become unlootable unless a body part is blown off, then the pieces are lootable.

Behind the scenes

 * The name of the ship "FMS Northern Star" might be a reference to the Norwegian cruise ship "MS Nordstjernen" (, which translates to "MS Northern Star" in English) with similar appearances as the equivalent ship found in the game, although the in-game ship is clearly a cargo ship. The actual "MS Nordstjernen" was constructed in 1956 and was at the time of withdrawal from coastal service (2012) the oldest operational ship in the Hurtigruten fleet.
 * The accent of the Norwegian-speaking raiders can be approximated to originate from the Northern parts of Norway, an area where working as fishermen and/or sailors is a strong tradition and culturally accustomed occupation for most of its inhabitants, as fishing has been the main income of this part of Norway for countless of centuries.
 * It may also be that the name is a reference to the anime series "fist of the north star" as a reference was already made to the anime in Fallout New Vegas
 * While the pronunciation is correct, some of the subtitles are grammatically wrong. The line "Va hvil du med us?" (What do you want from us) is supposed to be "Hva vil du med oss?". It should also be noted that most of their spoken dialog isn't something regular Norwegians would say. "Gå bort" (Go away) would be "Gå vekk" instead. It's obvious Bethesda used a direct translation instead of actually going for real Norwegian voice actors.
 * The misunderstood, Norwegian-speaking crew may be a reference to the opening scene of the 1982 John Carpenter movie The Thing, wherin a language barrier leads to a Norwegian being killed by one of the main characters.
