Brilliant Seamanship Helped To Beat "Altmark" - The German prison ship "Altmark" aground in Josing Fjord, Norway, the narrow waterway in which H.M.S. "Cossack" was manocuvred by brilliant seamanship alongside the Nazi vessel so that a boarding party could free the 300 British seamen held captives under intolerable conditions aboard the "Altmark". When this picture was made, the "Altmark" was still aground in the same position as on the night of the battle. February 26, 1940.
