Wreck of the FMS Northern Star

The wreck of the FMS Northern Star is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287. 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. By boarding the deck and approaching the bow, there is a lifeboat that will lower the Sole Survivor 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

 * Agility bobblehead - Right on the very bow of the ship, past the upper room, sitting on a piece of wood at the end of the boat.
 * Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor issue #8 - On the upper level of the ship, mid-deck, on the parasol table with the radio on.
 * A Stealth Boy - On a toilet under the shacks near the very bow of the ship.
 * A mini nuke - Next to the terminal in the same room as the bed and chemistry station near the bow of the ship.
 * A fusion core - Inside a generator on the ground level, near the bow of the ship.

Related quests

 * Quartermastery: Scribe Haylen has identified the location of a piece of technology she wishes to retrieve and catalog. She asks the Sole Survivor for help in bringing back the technology in one piece.
 * Randolph Safehouse: The Railroad agent Mister Tims will leave dead drops in the form of six holotapes for the Sole Survivor, containing information about possible hazards to the Railroad's escort and escape of synths out of the Commonwealth. They can assist in these efforts by clearing out the location of hostiles.
 * To the Mattresses: The synth-hating L&L Gang is a major threat to the Railroad. Desdemona has a lead on them and asks the Sole Survivor to help neutralize their members.

Appearances
The wreck of the FMS Northern Star appears only in Fallout 4.

Behind the scenes

 * The raiders encountered on the wreck are unique in that they are all Norwegian-speaking raider ghouls. This could lead to the assumption that the FMS Northern Star was likely a Norwegian cargo ship, that had been docked (or marooned) off the coast of the Commonwealth, and that the crew had been on the ship ever since the Great War. When encountered they will tell the Sole Survivor "gå vekk" and "la oss være i fred" - which means "go away" and "leave us alone," respectively. Not knowing the English language in the unforgiving wasteland means that they are unable to communicate with others, forcing them to stay in their ship and defend it against hostile raiders and mutated creatures like mirelurks. When one dies, the others may exclaim "du drepte han!" meaning "you killed him!" in Norwegian. Their last words upon death are often "jeg kommer hjem...", which means "I'm coming home..."
 * Some of the subtitles and pronunciations are wrong in the ghoul crew's quotes. The line "Hva hvil du med us?" (What do you want from us?) is supposed to be "Hva vil du med oss?" and the line "Du vil angre angripe oss!" (You will regret attacking us!) should be "Du vil angre på å angripe oss!"

Bugs

 * When boarding the boat lift to go down only the control button goes down while the boat stays put. One can still jump into the boat and ride down and up again with the button, however. Fast traveling away and then back may fix the problem.
 * It is possible to become stuck on mid-deck at the south middle between four rusted crates.
 * This can be solved by wearing power armor that has the jetpack modification and boosting oneself out.
 * On pc, this can be resolved by using the console command to clip through the crates to the other side.
 * If all enemies have been defeated in the area one can also use fast travel to return to the fast travel spawn point.
