The Capture of the Whaling Fleet

Ole Wegger Crew List - No Casualties:

See Ole Wegger on the previous page for details on the capture.

(Since I'm rather unfamiliar with whaling terminology, some of these titles might seem a little peculiar).

Repatriated to Norway in May-1941 on board the German D/S Donau.

*See also this Guestbook message from the son of someone who was on board Ole Wegger when she was captured, Valter Kristiansen (still around in Apr.-2009, 90 years old).
