D/S Jacob Christensen has some more details, including a crew list at the time she was scuttled in Rochefort on June 18-1940. Broke in two, abandoned Jan. 17-1939, new forepart fitted, renamed Janko (Panamanian flag) 1939. See text under Norsktank. It appears the Norwegian Svolder, which was sold to Sweden in 1939 became Norwegian Jaguar post war. M/S Jamaica has the details on her final fate and a crew list. Please continue to M/T James Hawson for info on some of her war voayges. Sunk by the Italian submarine Galieleo Galilei (Corrado Nardi) in June-1940. Please continue to M/T James Stove for more details. Please continue to D/S Jan. See D/S Jan Mayen. An individual page about D/S Janna has more information, incl. details on her loss and a crew list at the time. Built at Framnes mek. Verksted, Sandefjord (124), 2956 gt, 2357 tdwt. SOLD to France in Febr.-1940 and renamed Bélain d'Esnambuc. Seized in Marseilles by the Germans on Dec. 16-1942 and used by the Kriegsmarine as minelayer under the name Pommern. Struck a mine and sank on Oct. 5-1944 off Toulon. The explosion detonated her own mines and she blew up with the loss of almost her entire crew. (R. W. Jordan). Related external link: I believe Anders Jahre also had a large tanker by this name which was seized in Denmark by the Germans in 1942 while being built (renamed Holstein), then returned to owners after the war. If I can find more info on it I'll list it in my Homefleet section. Please see M/T Jaspis for more details. Please continue to M/T Jenny. See D/S Jern. Please go to D/S Jernfjeld. My page about D/S Jernland has more information. All my information on this ship has been assembled at M/S John Bakke. Includes 2 pictures. M/T John Knudsen has more details. My page M/T John P. Pedersen has an account of her sinking. Includes crew list, statements given at the maritime hearings and the Canadian radio operator's personal story, which also has details on the sinking. Additionally, the page names the ships in the convoy she was in at the time, Convoy HX 126. Please continue to M/T Jotunfjell. 1 of a total of 23 new ships held back in Sweden until the war was over in1945.
