D/T Liss

Source: Received from Hallvard Tveit, Norway.

Some War Voyages:

Managed during the war by British Tanker Co. Ltd., London (according to R. W. Jordan)..

There's a ship by this name listed in Convoy HG 32 from Gibraltar to the U.K. at the end of May-1940, which I believe is the Norwegian Liss.

Liss was one of 3 Norwegian ships in Convoy KMS 51 which was attacked by aircraft near Cape Bengut on May 30-1944, but escaped unharmed. (See Marathon. President de Vogue was also in this convoy).

On my "Find Old Shipmates" Forum there's a message from the daughter of Arne Kristian Kristiansen Nordaas, who served on Liss; she's interested in getting in touch with someone who knew her father. There's also a more recent forum thread with messages posted by the sons of other crew members.

POST WAR:

Sold in 1963 to A/S Norske Oljekonsum and renamed O. K. Hauge. Sold to Eckhardt & Co. GmbH, Hamburg, to be broken up, delivered on Oct. 3-1964.
