The
steamer Hela was
laid down in Danzig in Germany in 1890, and was sold to
Norway in 1936. After the German invasion of Norway in
April 1940, she was requisitioned by the German forces.
Three years later she is reported to have served as a
coastal freighter, most likely as a civilian ship. Under a
journey from Brønnøysund to Trondheim in ballast she
an
aground 30.January 1944 and drifted ashore in
Stokksundet. The remains of her rest today west of
Langholmen on a depth of 28 to 40 meter, outside the
abandoned ferry pier.
