Summary
| Description |
English: Gerda III was built in 1928 for the Danish Lighthouse and Buoy Service. From October 1943 Gerda II was used to ferry Jewish refugees from German occupied Denmark to neutral Sweden. With a group of some ten refugees on board the vessel set out for her official lighthouse duties, but detoured to the Swedish coast. The little ship and her crew (Skipper Otto Andersen, John Hansen, Gerhardt Steffensen and Einar Tønnesen), ferried some 300 Jews to safety.
Nederlands: Gerda II was een werkboot die voor de Deense Vuurtoren en Boeiendienst werd gebouwd. Vanaf oktober 1943 werd ze gebruikt om joodse vluchtelingen van bezet Denemarken naar neutraal Zweden te brengen. Met telkens zo'n tien vluchtelingen aan boord vertrok ze voor haar normale taken, maar maakte ze een omweg langs de Zweedse kust. Het scheepje en haar bemanning (Skipper Otto Andersen, John Hansen, Gerhardt Steffensen and Einar Tønnesen) brachten zo'n 300 joden in veiligheid. |
