The
German dry cargo freighter Blankenese was sunk 22. April
1942 in Persfjord northwest of Vardø, outside
Havningberg by the Russian submarine M-173. Some
Norwegian historians state that the ship was sunk by
Russian airplanes 7. July 1942 and that her name was
Else Marie. The documents in our archive state that this
is the Blankenese. There are weeks between the dates
when these two ships were sunk, and also different
reason to how it happened. Clearly a tale of two
different ships. Information from Stolt Comex survey of
the Blankenese wreck in 1996 shows that she is partly
broken down and rest on a depth of 55 to 65 meter.
According to uboat.net she was sunk in position 70,53 N,
30,78 E.
