    D/S NORDNORGE: Ofotens dampskipsselskaps aggskip var nesten 900 bruttotonn, hadde sertikat for 270 passasjerer og gjorde 13 knops fart da hun i 1936 gikk inn i hurtigruten, som for første gang kk daglige avganger. Hun ble kapret av tyskerne i Trondheim 7. mai 1940 og brukt til landsetting av en styrke bergjegere i Ranaorden i ryggen på de allierte forsvarerne. Målet var å åpne veien over Saltellet til Bodø for 2. bergdivisjon. Landsettingen var vellykket og representerte begynnelsen til slutten på felttoget i Nord-Norge. Selv ble hun senket under kampene utenfor Hemnesberget av to britiske jagere. Bildet tatt i 1928 av Anders Beer Wilse.

På sørgående 4. mars 1941 ble hun skutt i brann og senket av en britisk jager under Lofotraidet. Bildet er tatt av Wilse utenfor Odda i 1911.

  • Alta Bataljon
    NORGES OFFENTLIGE UTREDNINGER NOU 1998: 12 Alta bataljon Rapport fra et utvalg nedsatt av Sosial- og helsedepartementet januar 1997 Avgitt til Sosial- og helsedepartementet 3. juni 1998 STATENS FORVALTNINGSTJENESTE STATENS TRYKNING OSLO 1998 Til Sosial- og helsedepartementet Utvalget ble nedsatt i januar 1997 med sikte på å vurdere rettighetene til krigspen- sjon for deltakerne i Alta bataljon, spesielt i lys av de gjeldende forskningsresul- tatene angående psykiske senskader. Arbeidet skulle ifølge mandatet ha vært avsluttet pr 31. desember 1997. Denne fris- ten er blitt overskredet med fem måneder. Det er særlig to grunner til dette. For det første gikk utvalget ut med et tilbud til alle gjenlevende veteraner fra Alta bataljon som var bosatt i Finnmark og enkelte andre steder, om en omfattende helseunder- søkelse utført av spesialister i psykiatri og allmennmedisin. For det andre engasjerte utvalget Statistisk sentralbyrå til å utarbeide et statistisk materiale til belysning av levealderen m m for deltakerne i Alta bataljon sammenlignet med en tilsvarende gruppe ikke-krigsdeltakere. Analysen av datamaterialet fra disse undersøkelsene har tatt lenger tid enn forutsatt. Med tanke på at saken gjaldt et omstridt spørsmål som har versert i en årrekke og som har opptatt veteranene og mange etterlatte i lang tid, la utvalget vekt på å få un- dersøkt alle aspekter som kunne tenkes å være av betydning for deltakernes pen- sjonsrettigheter. En del av utvalgets medlemmer og noen av de impliserte legene gjennomførte i au- gust 1997 en befaring i stridsområdet nord for Narvik. Befaringen ble lagt opp og ledet av oberstløytnant Hans Børsheim ved Krigsskolen Linderud. Også oberstløyt- nant S E L Ramberg, Alta bataljons siste sjef, deltok i befaringen.

Torbjørn Johnsen • Gratangen kommune, kultur Nine Grib • Gratangen kommune, Sektorleder Per Kvaale Caspersen • Lokalhistoriker Sverre Nordmo • Lokalhistoriker Gunnar Bjørklund • Lokalhistoriker Ove Olsen Arbeidet er forankret i kommunalt vedtak i formannskapet i kommunen den 28 mai 2014, sak 13/1486-16, men da til utarbeidelse av en regional kulturminneplan. Da samarbeidet med kommunene Lavangen og Salangen i forbindelse med dette, ikke lot seg videreføre høsten 2015, valgte Gratangen kommune å fortsette arbeidet med en kommunal kulturminneplan høsten 2016. Det er fra tidligere prosjektarbeider gjort et stort arbeid med å dokumentere og registrere kulturminner i kommunen. Det er dessuten gjort et omfattende digitalt registreringsarbeid av kulturminner av lokalkjente og historieinteresserte personer i kommunen. Disse fortjener stor takk.
