Sneland I (Norwegian for “snowland one”) was a {{GRT|1791|link=off}} cargo ship which was built by Nüscke & Co. shipyard at Stettin-Grabow (then Germany) in 1922. She was the last merchant ship to be torpedoed by Germany in the Second World War, on 7 May 1945, one day before German surrender.[1]

History

The ship was built for the German shipping line Stange & Dreyer GmbH in 1922 and got the name Ingeborg. Three years later, in 1925, it was sold to the Norwegian shipping company Richard Amlie & Sverre Amlie (Amlie & Amlie) in Haugesund, and renamed Sneland I.

On 6 May 1945 the ship was a member of Convoy EN 491, which departed Hull bound for Belfast via Methil.[2] On 7 May 1945, the convoy was attacked by {{GS|U-2336||2}} and two ships were sunk, Sneland I and {{SS| Avondale Park||2}}, which became the last merchant ships to be sunk by a German U-boat during the Second World War. The sinking, at about 22:45 on 7 May 1945, was in the last hours of the Second World War in Europe, with the official surrender taking place at 23:01 on 8 May 1945.[3]

Sneland I sank at {{coord|56|10|N|02|31|W|display=inline,title}}. Seven of the 29 crew were lost.

A signal had been sent to the U-boats on 4 May 1945 ordering them to surrender but U-2336 did not receive the signal.[4]
