Narvik before abandoning it and also tried to wreck the railway to Sweden, destroying seven engines and blowing up points and signals. Narvik station still stands.

A Stockholm message says that Lulea (at the head of the Gulf of Bothnia) is sufficiently free of ice to allow four ships to enter the harbour.
