| Additional information | While hunting seals in the Vesterisen in 1960, the "Pollan" had one of its propeller blades broken off by an ice floe. They could now only proceed at a greatly reduced speed, and the "Salvator", which was an auxiliary ship that year, was called in for possible assistance. "Pollan" was to borrow a propeller blade from "Hisø". But "Salvator" had to prioritize another mission first, they had to assist "Munkøy", which had also had problems. In the meantime, "Pollan" learned that "Flemsøy" had to go to Iceland to repair damage to the bow. Since bad weather was forecast, the skipper of "Pollan" decided to ask "Flemsøy" for a tow. The tow to Iceland went well, and they arrived on April 17. The propeller was quickly repaired, and they were soon back on the hunt. "Pollan" gets a new owner in 1964 and the ship is now renamed "Glannøy". The owner, Paul Blikfeldt, had previously had a boat with this name, and "Pollan" now takes over the name. Large parts of the ship had also been burned, and now most of the foreship is being renewed. While fishing for herring on the Møre coast in the winter of 1966, the "Glannøy" collides with the Swedish ship "Candia". Both boats make full speed astern, but contact is made. "Glannøy" is not damaged, but the Swedish boat suffers some damage to the trawler deck. In the summer of 1966, "Glannøy" gets a power unit. On 5 October 1966, the ship was on its way from Tromsø to the North Sea for herring fishing when it ran aground on Ribeflua. Here the lantern was missing after another boat had driven it down a few days before. "Glannøy" was pulled off shortly afterwards, and went under its own engine to Kristiansund for investigations. On March 26, 1970, the boat ran aground again, this time at Trollvikgrunnen. The salvage boat "Sterkodder" had to be called in to free them. On their way to Hopen for fishing in 1975, "Glannøy" grounded at full speed in the bay at Eidstranda on July 11. They then got off on their own at the next high tide. While fishing for shrimp on Gåsbanken in 1981, the "Glannøy" ran aground on the trawl. There was a storm and the ship was there riding the waves for a day and a half before they finally lost the trawl. The ship was now so badly damaged that it was no longer profitable to repair it. The ship was sunk in Veggefjorden in the summer of 1984. Arctic Ocean operation until about 1968. |
