Owner: Bryde & Dahls Hvalfangerselskap A/S (Thor Dahl's Hvalfangerselskap A/S?)
Manager: A/S Thor Dahl, Sandefjord
Tonnage: 305 gt

Built by Framnæs mek. Værksted A/S, Sandefjord in 1936. Previous name: Launched as Amos for Bryde & Dahls Hvalfangerselskap A/S in July that year. Renamed Thoris in Sept.-1936 (according to this message in my Ship Forum).

Her voyages are listed on this original image received from the National Archives of Norway.

Notes:

According to the 2nd external website that I've linked to below she was in use by the U.S. Coast Guard (as WYP 378) from Jan. 25-1943 to July 7-1943, stationed in San Pedro, California and used for patrol duty (the site says her former name was Almos).

She's listed in Convoy ZG 66, departing Cristobal on Apr. 28-1944, arriving Guantanamo May 2. The Norwegian Baalbek, Globe IX, Globe VIII, Ottern, Pol VII, Thorfinn, Thorgaut, Thorjell and Thorshammer are also listed. From Guantanamo, most of these, including Thoris, sailed to New York on May 3, having joined Convoy GN 130, with arrival May 10. Sevilla and Notos are also listed in this convoy (and I believe Torfinn also took part). A week later, we find them (except Notos, Baalbek and Thorshammer) in Convoy BX 108, which left Boston on May 17 and arrived Halifax on the 19th. Links to all these convoys have been provided below.

In Nov.-1944, Thoris headed to the whaling grounds (arrived South Georgia from Valparaiso on Nov. 23).

POST WAR:

Sold on March 28-1956 to Brødrene Brunvold, Tromsø. According to a message in this thread on my Ship Forum she was renamed Polarbris IV; scrapped in Norway in 1967.

Thor Dahl later had another whaler by this name (M/S, ex Nordkyn, ex Buttercup), built 1941, bought 1956, sold 1969.
