Erling Jacobsen var bl.a. ombord på M/T SPINNANGER som var på riese fra New York til Londonderry og gikk derfra til Greenock uten eskorte. Skipet ble torpedert 15. januar 1945 av tysk U1172 ( Oberleutnant sur Zee Jürgen Kuhlmann ) i posisjon 1 n. mil av Clyde Light Vessel i North Channel. Spinanger ble truffet i maskinrommet. Tre av maskinbesetningen døde øyeblikkelig, og flere ble såret. En britisk redningsbåt kom til og tok de sårede i land, der en såret motormann avgikk ved døden. Slepebåt kom til og fikk slept skipet til land, der det ble fortøyd i en bøye i Rothesay.

Going through new source material in order to document the war sailors and their history is an ongoing and extensive effort, and there exist no complete register over decorations awarded. Infomation about medals will therefore be registered gradually and be based on different source materials. The war sailors were awarded medals both during and after the war. Do you want to read more about decorations, then please study this page: Decorations
