Hello!

I see there have been no answers regarding "Bjørnhaug" ex "Torborg I".
The vessel was bought from Åland in 1937 as "Torborg" and renamed "Torborg I" (c/s LJOU) by Torgersen & Maaren A/S, Bergen.
Sold 1939 to S/A Madrino (Finn Poulsen), Oslo. In "Fortegnelse over Norske Orlogs-og handelsfartøyer - 1940" which is ajour to 01.01.1940 she is still having the name "TORBORG I". If she was renamed "BJØRNHAUG" it must have been shortly before loss.

regards
Arild
