A little information from a contemporary edition of "Lloyd's Confidential index" ....
Haugland (ex Andros, ex Ardova) built 1896, 3153 gross tons, owned by A/S Theologos, and managed by Niels Rogenaes, Haugesund, was abandoned on 12 October 1933, off Zipnovalok, Kola peninsula when on voyage from Rotterdam to Archangel in ballast; drifted ashore 15 October in Mokkafjord; refloated about 22 November, taken over by Soviet authorities, and taken to Archangel on 8 November 1934.
Hope this fills in few gaps in your data.
Regards
Roger
