The 31 August 1819 earthquake caused widespread damage (MMIVIII) to stone components of wooden buildings in the sparsely populated region of Nordland Norway, as well as very extensive rockfalls, liquefaction phenomena and a remarkable variety of disturbances in fjords and in the sea. The earthquake was felt throughout northern Scandinavia over distances of up to 800 km. Quote from

The PT boats operated during the entire war in three main areas:
The North Sea, between Britain and German-occupied Western Europe, where British, and later also American PT boats, clashed intensively with their elusive and faster German counterparts, the German S-boats (S for speed, in both German and English). Each side tried to attack the other's coastal shipping routes and protect his from the enemy's attacks. Quote from
PT Boats, Torpedo Boats

World War Heritage
Norway's strategic location attracted British and German interest in both World Wars. Norway was not neutral in World War II. British efforts to bottle up German U-boats and surface units was premised on command of the North sea. The British had effectively done this in World war I and it severely hampered U-boat operations. German Admiral Wegener during World War I wrote about Norway's geo-strtegic importance. After the War the importance of German naval bases in Norway was stressed. Bases in Norway, especially air bases would greatly faciltate Allied operations in the North Sea. In addition Norway was an important producer of iron ore. Swedish iron ore was also important and this passed through the Norwegian port of Narvik. Both the British and Germans imported Scandinavian iron ore.
