Noen av de norske "gullskøytene" fotografert under reisen nordover i mai 1940. Seemingly deserted and useless, to give Luftwaffe air patrols the impression that they are no longer seaworthy, five puffers (in foreground and center) ride at anchor in a cove on Frøya island. Actually, heavily armed soldiers and civilians are hidden below deck to guard cargoes of gold worth almost $20 000 000 and for which the Germans are making frantic search. Puffers similar to these were "stolen" by captain Gierløff to operate his escape route to Scotland. (Original bildetekst) For kommersiell bruk av bildet, ta kontakt med NTB/Scanpix.
