DS Hovde was torpedoed by the German U-boat UC-48 on October 15, 1917. The ship was en route from Nantes to Skien, carrying a cargo of cyanamide. One person lost his life in the shipwreck. The survivors were later rescued by the Norwegian merchant ship Lillemor. (Sources: Sjøhistorie.no and “Med norsk skib i verdenskrigen”)
