Pelagos 1928 Pelagos A/S (a whaling factory ship)
Scrapped Hamburg 1962
She was captured by the German Raider SS Pinguin on Jan 15, 1941 along with other factory ship, one depot ship and eleven whale catchers. SS Pelagos was converted to become an oil tanker to refuel German U Boats and she was attached to the 24th submarine flotilla based in Norway. On October 24, 1944, U Boat U-69 torpedoed her, which was an act of spite by the Germans, and she sank to the bottom of the harbour at Kirkenes. A year later the Norwegians raised her and she was completely refitted and placed back into service for another 18 years.
