The SPRI records tell us that Gulliksen died on board the 'Thor I' which was at Godthul. He was struck on the head by a wooden toggle (knovel), which jumped out of the hole in the strip of blubber they were raising up onto the factory ship.

A relative of Anders Knudsen wrote and told us:

I have found some more informations about Ole Martin Gulliksen, where he was born,baptized, etc. He had 2 brothers and 1 sister in Norway, living in a place called Modum.
