Jacob Østhassel Samuelsen.
Førte i 1911 Jernfullrigger "Vanse" tilhørende
J. Samuelsens Rederi, Farsund. Rømte i 1941 fra
Norge til Skottland i en liten båt. Førte i 1943
D/S Norlom. Hun lå som framskutt base for
de allierte i Bari i 1943 og ble utsatt for kraftig
tysk angrep. Grunnen til at "NORLOM" sank var
at ett av de tyske flyene hadde truffet et
ammunisjonsskip som sprang i luften inne
imellom de tettpakkede skipene som lå til
ankers. Olje og bensin ble antent og ild spredde
seg fort. Ett skip med giftgass sprakk. Livbåter
og flåter fra 17 skip måtte igjennom flammene
og gassrøken. Fire personer ble drept ombord
på "NORLOM",en døde på sykehus og en døde
etter krigen av giftgass skader fra Bari tragedien.
En av de omkomne fra dampskipet "NORLOM"
var kaptein Samuelsen.
Fra Våre Falne:
Gift 1912 i Glasgow med Margrethe Mithassel,f.1883 i Lista. 3 barn.
Middelskole, styrmann og skipperskole. Var fører på D/S NORLOM, og ble såret da skipet ble bombet i senk under et flyangrep på Bari i Italia den 2.desember 1942. Døde på hospital i Bari den 5. desember 1942. Gravlagt i Bari.

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
