| Additional information | Built for fishing in 1907, the first trip was herring fishing off Iceland the same year. The first time they went seal hunting was in 1910, and that year they caught 600 seals. Captured in the White Sea in 1922 by the Russians on May 9 and taken to Arkhangelsk with crew and cargo along with "Hvitfjeld", "Sælfangaren", "Sæl" and "Remøy". They were not released until late July after negotiations with the Norwegian and Russian authorities. The last trip to the Arctic Ocean was probably in 1925. In 1929, the ship was leased to a shipping company. After a while, the ship was arrested on suspicion of smuggling alcohol. New owners arrived in 1933. In 1935 the boat changed its name to "Gurskøy". It operated in freight traffic, mostly in bait traffic from Ålesund to Lofoten. The boat operated in this manner for most of the 1930s and until the outbreak of war. The boat was eventually requisitioned by the Germans, but the owners resumed bait traffic after the war. Loaded with 900 hl of herring en route from Kristiansund, she collided with another guide boat, "Christine" in Ulvesundet and sank in 1967. |
