Is there a way I can correct this???
Moin,The Ijsselmeer was confiscated by the Kriegsmarine and was commisioned on 13.11.1942 as Hapsal. It served in the Baltic with MAST Reval The boat had a crew of Estonians and deserted to Sweden in 1944. In Sweden it was detected that this was originalla a Dutch tug and via Norrköping and Göteborg to thwthe Dutch consulate was informed. After the war the yard De Haan & Oerlemans was notified and in August 1945 Mr. J. Engelsman received the news that his tug was in Stockholm.In october 1945 he sailed to Sweden and after some ropepulling to get the ship released he sailed the IJsselmeervia Norrköping and Göteborg to the Norwegian waters in charter of the Dutch Gouvernment to tow confiscated Dutch, Belgian and French vessels along the Norwegian coast. He came as far as Harstad. In November 1946 the IJsselmeer returned to Holland but was damaged by ice in the Kielerkanal. The propellorshft broke.The boat remained at Brunsbuttel during the winter and after a new shaft was bought and repairs had been made the IJsselmeer arrived at Delfzijl on 7.4.1947.So far the IJsselmeer story.The Hollander II was damaged during the war by an airattack and was not completed until after the war.The yardnos. 238 and 239 were no newbuildings of De Haan & Oerlemans but the record concerned the installment of new motors in two - unidentified - tugsYard nos. 243 (Rembrandt) and 244 (Tollens) were two river tugs ordered by Roelofs which were completed after the war.I hope this has been of service to you.Regards,Jaap
