Marina lost a crew member in May-1945 - see the text at the first external link below.

This message in my Guestbook provides an external link to a picture of her as Rio Besaya (probably post war?). If my Spanish does not fail me, it gives the additional information that she was scrapped in Italy in 1960.

Stavern Memorial commemoration - This man, Gullik Marthinius Gulliksen was a gunner, cause of death or date not given, but the date Dec. 2-1941 is mentioned under the heading "wrecked" - this in some cases also refers to the date of death at this website. However, checking with "Våre falne", a series of 4 books naming Norwegian WW II casualties, I find that he died at a hospital in Auckland, New Zealand on May 19-1945, having previously taken ill in Dec.-1944, and is buried there. He may have been serving on Marina when he became ill. The date Dec. 2-1941 actually goes back to the sinking of D/S Fjord, on which he served at the time of her loss, but survived.

The Australian War Memorial has a picture of this ship. It can be found by running a search through their collection search page.
