Shetland Bus Boats at Malakoff
c. 1940
Shetland Bus boats Sjølivet and Lygrefjord at the Malakoff pier, each loaded with 80 mines. These mines were laid in the Florø area, and the Sjølivet returned to Lerwick. On the Lygrefjord the crew had problems with the launching rails for the mines and they had to be thrown overboard by hand.Then because of bad weather the Lygrefjord had to lie in hiding on the Norwegian coast and eventually made landfall at Wick- a fortnight after leaving Lerwick.
