For the benefit of those who don't know their WW II history any better than I do, I looked the place and date up on Wikipedia. This ship was blown up by the Norwegian resistance to prevent the cargo of heavy water reaching Germany. Some 18 people died and 29 survived.
On the poetic side, I particularly like the "white harpoon of light." (PS - Janice, I was going to guess that you wrote it, before I read your post.)
