Looking for info regarding the temporary U-Boat bases (listed below) that were located in Finland during the 1944-1945 time period or earlier. Also, any info regarding Finnish shipyards that were involved in U-Boat repairs/modifications, etc.

Temporary Bases:

Riisiö/Kalasika/Nuokko = Codename GRAND HOTEL at 60°27' N / 27° 13,6' (AO 3665)

Risholm (Kerissaari) = Codename MIRAMARE at 60° 16,5' N / 26°09' (AO 3273)

Mossholm (Krenkkurek) = Codename ESPLANADE at 60° 22.7' N / 26°40,3' (AO 3259)

We circle the period up to July 1944, when the Russians invaded Finland. Post interesting, but still white spot - in their sources do not see anything about ?!

The Crichton-Vulcan shipyard at Turku is where Finnish subs were built & repaired.
