Narvik shipped Swedish iron ore to Germany, which is why both sides went for it in April 1940. Two naval battles in the fjord destroyed ten German destroyers and a U-boat along with British and Norwegian ships. Many of the wrecks are war graves and are treated as such. Anchorage: Narvik is a deep ice-free harbour at the head of a 40nm fjord, and the Lofoten wall lies across the entrance. Hazards: These are war graves with men still aboard. Cold, dark, deep, and dived only with operators who observe the restrictions. Plus
