On a voyage from Calcutta to Rangoon with a cargo of 2500 tons of coal when she was torpedoed by the Japanese submarine I-66 on Jan. 21-1942 and sunk 15 28N 94 36E, no casualties.
Charles Hocking simply gives the position as "Preparis North Channel" and adds that a few survivors were reported to have landed in Burma. Rohwer lists the submarine I-166 (Yoshitome). In a footnote he explains that the Japanese fleet submarines 1-53 to 1-75 were renumbered in May of 1942 and became I-153 to I-175. To avoid confusion with the war built submarines he refers to those boats using their later numbers; in other words I-66 and I-166 is one and the same boat.

Torpedoed by the American submarine USS Harder (SS 257) on Sept. 23-1943 and sunk 34 15N 137E (south of Honshu).
Another source ("Sjøforklaringer fra 2. verdenskrig") indicates she was sold on Nov. 3-1941, while a document received from the National Archives of Norway says she was sold on Nov. 11-1940. This document confirms that she had been in port in Yokohama since 1938.

Jan L. Backer, Kristiansund
|
425 gt
|
| Built in Beverley 1913. Previous name: Sweeper until 1936.
Trawler.
NOTE: When I first included this ship, I thought it was a regular merchant ship; strictly speaking, this vessel does not belong in my list, but I'll leave it in case someone is looking for information on her.
Pre war history: Delivered in 1913 from Cook, Welton & Gemmell Ltd., Beverley (262) as Sweeper to Thomas S. Bascomb, Grimsby, 425 gt, 217 net, 150' x 25.1' x 13.5', Triple expansion (Amos & Smith Ltd., Hull), 514 ihp. Requisitioned by the Royal Navy in 1914 as minesweeper HMS Sweeper. Sold in Apr.-1936 to A/S Nordhavet (Jan L. Backer), Kristiansund, renamed Nordhav.
WW II: Requisitioned by the Royal Norwegian Navy in Sept.-1939 and used in Finnmark. Arrived Rosyth in June-1940. Converted to minesweeper May 6-1942.
Torpedoed and sunk by U-714 (Schwebke) on March 10-1945 at Dundee, when in Convoy FS 1753d. U-714 was sunk just 4 days later. According to a posting to my Ship Forum this was a Norwegian auxiliary trawler (1914 is given as year built) serving with the 71st Minesweeper Group, Dundee. The poster says she was torpedoed at 12.02 and lost with 5 men (6? 4?), including the CO (Lt. A. L. Olsen), who was on his first voyage with her after being transferred from more dangerous duty on MTB's. The survivors were rescued by the Norwegian minesweeper Syrian, and taken to Dundee. Served as a RN minesweeper 1914-1919 (HMT Sweeper FY-54). Follow the link for more replies to the query about this ship on my Ship Forum (there's also a note from someone whose British brother was lost). A more recent Forum thread can be found at this link. More details on Syrian can be found under this thread on the forum.
Other known casualties:
Odd Hansen, A. N. Korneliussen, R. P. Meyer. 5 were injured.
A visitor to my website has told me that "Shipwreck Index of the British Isles" says she was a fishing trawler impounded by the British, hired by the RN in June-1940 and converted to a minesweeper. Position for her sinking given by this source is 2 miles north of buoy No 25, off Montrose, Scotland.
Nordhav I:
The same visitor also mentions a Nordhav I, saying this was a 644 gt trawler, built 1915 as French Ocean, had misc. owners and names (Spanish Meliton D. Dominguez 1924, French Ocean II 1929, Nordhav I for Jan L. Backer 1935). Nordhav I is listed as sailing in Convoy HN 20 from Norway to the U.K. in March-1940, bound for Hull in ballast. Hired by Royal Navy in June-1940 as HMS Nordhav I and became A/P Avalon in Sept. that year. Purchased Sept.-1940, renamed Adonis in July-1941. Sunk Apr. 15-1943 by E-boat off Lowestoft, 21 of 32 crew lost. Originally Hull trawler H 308.

U-714
1 who died - The ship's name is given as Nordhav of 8400 dwt (T. Lodding) but the date 10.03.1945 is written under the heading "wrecked", so I believe this is a case of mistaken identity (of ship). The Nordhav I have listed above was 8440 dwt, 5574 gt. This is a mix up of the 2 ships, and this seaman, Odd Hansen, died on the trawler Nordhav II.

Pre war: Selandia, East Asiatic Co. of Denmark, was the first ocean going motor ship. Purchased by Odd Godager in Nov.-1936, registered in Panama and renamed Norseman. Stopped by Spanish nationalist warships in the Mediterranean in Nov.-1938 on a voyage from Novorossisk to Oslo with a cargo of grain. Allowed to proceed after a long delay, but suffered leaks in bad weather in the Bay of Biscay. Repaired at Brest, then went to Oslo where a fire broke out in one of the holds, causing considerable damage. She was again repaired and at the same time passenger berths were reduced (12). Due to lack of available work she was laid up in Oslo.
WW II: Sold in Oct.-1940 to Finland-Amerika Linjen and renamed Tornator. Stranded on Jan. 26-1942 (1941?) at Omaisaki (between Nagoya and Yokohama) on a voyage from China to Japan with a cargo of salt, broke in two on Jan. 30 and became a total loss.
