Det Bergenske D/S had lost a ship by this name to WW I, built 1907, 1196 gt - torpedoed and sunk by UC-45 in the North Sea on March 19-1917.
The text on this page was compiled with the help of: "Bergenske - Byen og selskapet", Dag Bakka Jr., "Våre gamle skip", Leif M. Bjørkelund & E. H. Kongshavn. The information on Pollux' war voyages was received from Harald Ness, Norway (Odfjell Seachem AS), who in turn obtained it from the Norwegian National Archives.
