This mighty cargo freighter sank after it was attacked by allied planes outside Ålesund on the 3rd. of May 1942. The vessel had through fifteen years been trafficking both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans before it was laid up in Rotterdam where she stayed until 1936 when Hendrik Fisser AG from Emden buys the vessel and puts her into service again. During the WW2 the vessel serves along the Norwegian coastline, and vessels of this size were a high priority target for the allied whom all the time sent out planes on "Anti-Shipping" sorties along the coastline. Late in the night on the 3rd of May 1942 allied Hudson planes attacks Ålesund and Konsul Carl Fisser takes hit and is set on fire. The fire department in the city sends out boats to put out the flames which has occurred, but do not reach out before several explosions shakes the vessel. When they finally arrives , the fire has nearly died out by itself. The crew of 38 men is later brought into land, and a attempt to tow the badly damaged vessel into land ends up in fiasco... the vessel sinks on a depth of twenty meters. Konsul Carl Fisser was never tried salvaged, and is located today on the same spot where she sank at the night of May 1942. The stern part lies on twenty meters depth and the port as the deepest part on fifty three meters depth. You need a boat to visit the wreck of Konsul Carl Fisser which is located just outside Ålesund city...
