D/S Lilly I To Lilly I on the "Ships starting with L" page. Manager: Lars Kyrkjebø, Bergen Delivered in Sept.-1916 from P. Larssons Varv, Thorskog near Vänern, Sweden as cargo vessel Lilly to Carl Nikolaus Andersson, Gothenburg, 263 gt. Lengthened in 1917 at Eriksbergs Mek. Verksted, Gothenburg, 309 gt. Company went bankrupt in 1924, and in 1926 she was owned by Rederi-AB Raneberg (Fallenius & Lefflers AB / Carl A. Abrahamson), Gothenburg. In 1933 she was owned by Rederi-AB Lilly (Johan Österlind & Olof Petterson / Arthur Henrikson), Gothenburg, possibly following a forced sale? Sold in Jan.-1935 to Lars Kyrkjebø, Kyrkjebø in Sogn, renamed Lilly I, in coastal and North Sea service. Note that this external page also has her history (some details are somewhat different from what I have here).
In Sweden when war broke out in Norway (Apr. 9-1940). Requisitioned by the Swedish Government on October 25-1940, and traded for the Swedish State Traffic Commission. Reported at Stockholm in Febr.-1943. Sustained some damage in 1944 and was reported at Gothenburg in Dec.-1944 and still at Gothenburg in May of 1945 when handed back to Norway. My page Ships in Sweden has a list of, and information on the other Norwegian ships there at the outbreak of war in Norway.
