"60 år", Bergens Arbeiderblad, 25. juni 1958, s. 2:
"Kaptein Peder Normann Saltnes, Idrettsveien 19, fyller 60 år den 26. d.m. Saltnes er født på Berg i Helgeland og har reist til sjøs fra han var 15 år. - Kaptein Saltnes reiste i sin tid i B.D.S., hvor han under forrige verdenskrig bl. a. reiste med selskapets gamle "Cometa". Siden gikk Saltnes over til Arnt.J. Morlands rederi, Arendal. I dette rederi kan han nå samtidig feire 35 års jubileum. Under hele siste verdenskrig førte han rederiets båt "Fjordaas". I 1942 ble "Fjordaas" torpedert, men klarte ved egen hjelp å komme seg inn til Clyden. Reparasjon tok 8 måneder, hvoretter skipet fortsatte i alliert tjeneste.
Kaptein Saltnes fikk under krigen O.B.E. samt St. Olavs medalje med eikegren, krigsmedaljen m. m. I 1949 gikk han Rederforbundets gullmedalje. Han er nå rederiets flaggkaptein og fører den nye 36 000 "Fjordaas", bygget i 1957.
Kaptein Saltnes er en ekte norsk sjømannstype, rolig og solid. Vi hans venner ønsker ham alt godt i årene som kommer. Dagen feirer han i sitt hjem, Idrettsveien 19".

Going through new source material in order to document the war sailors and their history is an ongoing and extensive effort, and there exist no complete register over decorations awarded. Infomation about medals will therefore be registered gradually and be based on different source materials. The war sailors were awarded medals both during and after the war. Do you want to read more about decorations, then please study this page: Decorations
