Hello Mats,
That was quick :-) The reason I asked was because I saw a telegram, at Krigsarkivet, dated 18.08.42, with the following text:
18.09.42
Dutch steamer Walhaven with a cargo of iron ore ran aground at 1000 hours off KSS 6 (Rönnskär). Salvage steamer has left Luleå.
In another telegram dated 30.09.42
The Dutch steamer Walhaven which ran aground on 18.09.42 has now broken in two. The salvage steamer has landed the crew and stopped the salvage attempts.
Perhaps the information in the telegrams are incorrect with regards to the date.
