The
minesweeper M 1 was laid down at Stüclken in Germany in
1936, and launched the following year for the German
Kriegsmarine. She was sunk by British Avro Lancaster
airplanes 12.January 1945 in the Byfjord north of Bergen.
The British planes had orders to bomb the uboat pens in
Bergen, but as secondary target any enemy shipping. The
crew on M 1 sat course for Helleneset but was hit by a
bomb which immediately sunk her. The wreck was surveyed by
SFT and Stolt Comex in 1996 and rest today on a depth of
340 meter north of Lønborg.
