The Anhalt was a 120 metre 5870brt German freighter built in 1921 and used for troop transports. She was damaged by Allied aircraft in December 1941 during Operation Archery, a major air and sea attack on Måløy in which 8 enemy ships were put out of action. She went aground on fire at Båsundhalsen, and remained there until she was eventually sunk by a further air attack in May 1942.
