The Sonja was an 1828gt Swedish ore carrier mined in June 1940. I have a report that she lies at the entrance to Midtgulen in 27 fathoms. However Lloyds War Losses reports her as having been lost SE of the Fiskholmenes light, which I think is N of Bodø inside the Arctic Circle. Nevertheless a sonar search might be an interesting way to while away the surface interval if you are in the area diving the excellent wrecks Aquila and Helga Ferdinand.
