M/S Jasmin *	Anders Jahre, Sandefjord	2956 gt
Built in Sandefjord, Norway, 1939 Built at Framnes mek. Verksted, Sandefjord (124), 2956 gt, 2357 tdwt. SOLD to France in Febr.-1940 and renamed Bélain d'Esnambuc. Seized in Marseilles by the Germans on Dec. 16-1942 and used by the Kriegsmarine as minelayer under the name Pommern. Struck a mine and sank on Oct. 5-1944 off Toulon. The explosion detonated her own mines and she blew up with the loss of almost her entire crew. (R. W. Jordan). Related external link: Picture of Jasmin - This site also lists a tanker named Jasmin, with a lovely picture (built 1942), saying it was seized by the Germans and converted to mothership for U-boats. Torpedoed in 1944. Repaired in Sandefjord after the war and re-entered service. Here's yet another Jasmin, built in 1950 (as Solør?). I believe Anders Jahre also had a large tanker by this name which was seized in Denmark by the Germans in 1942 while being built (renamed Holstein), then returned to owners after the war. If I can find more info on it I'll list it in my Homefleet section.
