Additional information	The ship was built with the name "Maaleggen", named after a mountain in Dalsfjorden. The ship was contracted by Anders O. Lillebø, who sold it the following year, at a great profit. After only two years, it was renamed "Hvitehavet". In 1930 it was given the name "Rundøy". In 1930, they salvaged the seal catcher "Øst" and had it towed to Iceland after they had lost the propeller in the ice. "Hvitehavet" / "Rundøy" operated a combination of hawksbill fishing and seal hunting off Greenland: 1928 1177 seals and 125 barrels of hake oil. 1929 327 seals and 43 barrels of hake oil 1930 26 seals and 380 barrels of hake oil 1931 56 seals and 240 barrels of hake oil Wrecked in the Norwegian Sea on the way home from Vestisen with a cargo of 900 seals and 25 tonnes of blubber. The sinking is blamed on a leak in a cooling water pipe. The crew is picked up by "Eskimo", who has been able to follow from the edge of the ice.
