"Riis" was delivered from the construction yard in March 1917, and immediately went to the Arctic Ocean.

Ran aground and sank on the Murmansk coast on its way to the White Sea in 1925. Read more about the dramatic last trip with "Riis" and the stay in Russia here: https://www.ishavsmuseet.no/blogger/s-s-ris-sin-siste-seilas/
