What does dampskibsmaskinist mean? Under the column labeled Midlertidig are the words: S/S Torp i fart pa Amirika. What does this mean. Thank you.

[Gjest Knut Bryn]

My approch to this is: "dampskip" = steamer, "maskinist" = engineer or operator. So he was working with the engine on a steamer. "Midlertidig" = preliminary. "S/S Torp" is the name of the steamer; "i fart paa Amerika" means something like "on the America route".
