The German steamer Baldur was on a journey from Stettin to Narvik on 26 February 1940 to load iron ore, when she outside Jøssingfjorden got a net in her propeller. The net was laid out by British naval forces that searched for the prison ship Altmark. Later on the afternoon Baldur was spotted by a British reconnaissance airplane, who thought Baldur was their primary objective. A message was sent to the British cruiser Arethusa who one hour later reached Baldur. They then discovered that the ship was`nt Altmark, but the crew on Baldur sunk themselves the ship and went in the lifeboats. They were thereafter picked up by the cruiser Arethusa. Later that same day Altmark was found and stormed in Jøssingfjorden. Baldur was sunk nearly four nautical miles outside the coast, and the wreck is believed to rest in deep waters...
