At 21.45 hours on 6 April 1990, the motorised ferry Scandinavian Star left Oslo bound for Frederikshaven. Several hours later while the ship was crossing to Denmark a fire broke out that was to claim the lives of 158 people on-board.
On April 7, 2006 a memorial was inaugurated in Oslo, near the Akershus Fortress. It features a mother holding her baby while pulling at a young boy who is reaching back for his teddy bear. Behind them is a commemorative plaque with names of all the dead.
