| - Andrew Furuseth (March 12, 1854 - January 22, 1938) of Romedal, Norway was a merchant seaman and an American labor leader. Furuseth was active in the formation of two influential maritime unions: the Sailors' Union of the Pacific and the International Seamen's Union, and served as the executive of both for decades. Furuseth was largely responsible for the passage of four reforms that changed the lives of American mariners. Two of them, the Maguire Act of 1895 and the White Act of 1898, ended corporal punishment and abolished imprisonment for deserting a vessel. Furuseth was credited as the key figure behind drafting and enacting the Seamen's Act of 1915, hailed by many as "The Magna Carta of the Sea" and the Jones Act of 1920 which governs the workers' compensation rights of sailors and the use of foreign vessels in domestic trade. In his later years, he was known as "the Old Viking." (en)
- Andrew Furuseth (født 12. mars 1854, død 22. januar 1938) fra den tidligere kommunen Romedal, nå Stange i Hedmark var sjømann og amerikansk fagforening leder. Furuseth var aktiv i dannelsen av to store maritime unioner: Sailor's Union of the Pacific og International Seamen's Union, og var leder for begge i flere tiår. Furuseth var hovedansvarlig for gjennomføringen av fire reformer som forandret livet til amerikanske sjøfolk. To av disse; Maguire Act of 1895 og White Act of 1898 gjorde slutt på kroppslig avstraffelse og abolished fengselsstraff for å forlate et skip. Furuseth er regnet som nøkkelpersonen bak planlegging og gjennomføring av Seamen's Act of 1915, av mange kalt "The Magna Carta of the Sea" og Jones Act of 1920 som tjener rettigheter til hyre til sjøfolk og bruken av utenlandske skip i innenlandsk handel.
