Helge Marcus Ingstad (30 December 1899 - 29 March 2001)
 
... was a Norwegian explorer. After mapping some Norse settlements, Ingstad and his wife Anne Stine, an archaeologist, in 1960 found remnants of a Viking settlement in L'Anse aux Meadows in the province of Newfoundland in Canada. They were thus the first to prove conclusively that the Icelandic Norsemen such as Leif Erickson had found a way across the Atlantic Ocean to North America, roughly 500 years before Christopher Columbus and John Cabot. He also thought that the mysterious disappearance of the Greenland Viking settlement in the 14/15th century could be explained by their emigration to North America.

Helge Ingstad died at Diakonhjemmet Hospital in Oslo at the age of 101.

HNoMS Helge Ingstad (F 313):
 
Built by the Spanish shipbuilders Navantia in Ferrol, Galicia, Helge Ingstad was the fourth of the Fridtjof Nansen class to be launched and then commissioned into the Royal Norwegian Navy.

From December 2013 to May 2014, Helge Ingstad was one of the escort ships for merchant vessels carrying chemical weapons from Syria to be destroyed.

On 8 November 2018, while returning from NATO exercises Trident Juncture 2018, she collided with the 250-metre (820 ft) Maltese-flagged oil tanker Sola TS and began taking on water. The ship was deliberately grounded in an attempt to prevent her foundering and allow for the evacuation of the crew. Seven sailors were injured in the incident and by late morning she had developed a severe list to starboard with most of the stern submerged. In the early hours of 13 November, the vessel sank with only smaller sections of the superstructure remaining above water.

After the Helge Ingstad was evacuated, other vessels were used to prevent it from slipping back into the water. By 9 November 2018 thick cable wires were used to anchor the hull to the shore to prevent it from sinking into the water.

Subsequently, on 13 November 2018 Rear Admiral Nils Andreas Stensoenes, head of Norway's navy announced that the wires had snapped overnight. Apart from the main mast most of the ship was under water.

The Norwegian Navy inspected Helge Ingstad; the Norwegian Blueye Pioneer underwater drone was used. Poor weather hampered salvage operations through December 2018; with the planned date to raise the ship being delayed until late January 2019.

The lifting operation began on 26 February 2019. On 27 February 2019, due to weather concerns, the partially raised ship was moved to a location which is better protected from the elements, where further salvage work took place. The ship and the two heavy lift vessels (Rambiz and Gulliver) reached the Semco Maritime yard at Hanøytangen on 28 February 2019. Boarding parties consisting of some 300 people, including around 100 members of Helge Ingstad's original crew, assisted in pumping out the remaining water so that the ship could be placed on a barge and fully salvaged. Helge Ingstad was successfully placed on Boa barge 33 on 2 March 2019 and arrived at the Haakonsvern naval base on 3 March 2019, for removal of spare parts and sensitive equipment.

On 14 May 2019 it was reported the cost of repairing Helge Ingstad would exceed US$1.4 billion, according to the Norwegian Armed Forces, implying that it would be nearly three times cheaper to build a new ship. However, restarting production for just one ship could result in a disproportionally high per-ship cost. In January 2021, the Norwegian government signed a 60 million kr (almost $7 million) contract with Norscrap West for the ship's scrapping.
