The naval tanker T-11, the former Ossag II

Mereväe tanker T-11, endine Ossag II

The T-11 was a big naval tanker of more than 8,000 tons that had begun life as the German Ossag II before passing into Soviet hands. On 24 August 1941, four days before the evacuation, Luftwaffe aircraft caught her off the Juminda peninsula and bombed and sank her. On the same day the destroyer Engels was mined north-east of Juminda and the transport Eestirand was bombed off Keri. The pin marks the published position.

Eesti keeles

T-11 oli üle 8000-tonnine suur mereväe tanker, mis oli alustanud teenistust Saksa laevana Ossag II ja hiljem venelaste kätte läinud. 24. augustil 1941, neli päeva enne evakuatsiooni, tabasid Luftwaffe lennukid tankeri Juminda poolsaare lähedal ning pommitasid selle põhja. Samal päeval sõitis Jumindast kirdes miinile hävitaja Engels ja Keri juures pommitati transpordilaeva Eestirand. Märk näitab avaldatud asukohta.
