The
steamer Annemor was built in by Tronheims Mekaniske
Verksted and was launched in November 1918. She was sold
in 1920 to Harlad G. Martens in Bergen and was renamed to
Blaafjeld I. After the war came to Norway in April 1940,
she is waiting for convoys southbound and her final
destination to Rochester in England. The steamers Blaafjeld
I, Sekstant and Pan is anchored up in Urdshalsvågen
when they are spotted by German HE 115 bombers 4.May 1940.
In the attack Sekstant
is hit and quickly disappears in the deep. History claims
that Blaafjeld also was hit under the attack, and
the crew tried only halfheartedly to rescue her. But the
next day she also went down in the deep. The wreck rest
today in Urshalsvågen near Kolvereid on a depth of 20 to
40 meter.
