Regarding ship number three, I think you got the name wrong. It should be Rosenholm, built 1895. Held in Bergen when the Germans occupied the city, seized on May 15, 1940. Later confiscated by a German prize court (Dec. 19, 1941 ?). According to older sources she was sunk by aircraft on November 6, 1944 at Hamburg.
