Built in Sunderland 1930. Previous name: Thorsholm until 1936 (Thor Dahl, Sandefjord).
Her voyages are listed on this original document received from the National Archives of Norway (as can be seen, she was in Yokohama when Norway was invaded by the Germans on Apr.9-1940, proceeding from there to Los Angeles).
Captured by the German auxiliary cruiser Atlantis on Nov. 8-1940. Please go to my page Norwegian Victims of Atlantis for more details on this incident (includes pictures and a crew list as well as related links and information on all the other Norwegian ships captured by this raider). George Monk, England has told me that Chief Engineer Herman Rudolf Jansen (included in the crew list) received the British King's Medal for Courage in the Cause of Freedom - not sure for what services - his source: Seedies List of awards to the British Merchant Navy which also includes awards to Allied merchant seamen.
Norwegian sources state that the Scandinavians from Teddy and M/T Ole Jacob, captured by the same raider, were freed through diplomatic avenues, 54 Norwegians and 6 Swedes all total. "Nortraships flåte" states that the entire complement of 32 from Teddy were sent to France; from there 22 Norwegians and 6 Swedes were sent home to their own countries while 4 Australians ended up in a camp in Germany. However, I've been contacted by an Australian who says his Norwegian father, who was on board Ole Jacob, was definitely not freed, but ended up in Japanese camps. His message can be found in my Guestbook. If anyone can shed some light on what really happened to the crews of Teddy and Ole Jacob, please contact me. I can be reached via my Guestbook, or use the contact address provided at the bottom of this page.
