For the first few days, the harbor master on Christiansø was "not allowed to say a thing". But today he can reveal a little
In September 2022, the Nord Stream gas pipeline explosions caused a huge international stir. At first, everyone thought Russia must be behind the sabotage. Now Germany is looking for a Ukrainian diving group on a yacht, while Denmark and Sweden have dropped the investigation. So what do we know about the case that they will never forget on Christiansø?
Søren Thiim Andersen got a surprise last summer, a few months after the world press had returned home with an unsolved case. The journalists were hunting for clues to the 15 meter long 'Andromeda' named after a princess in Greek mythology. So when the yacht sailed into the harbor, Christiansø's administrator could hardly believe his eyes.
Since the end of 2022, 'Andromeda' has been the German authorities' best guess as to where the sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines originated exactly two years ago. An arrest warrant was recently issued for a 44-year-old Ukrainian diver who was allegedly on the sailing ship when it passed Christiansø in the days around the time of the attack.
Last summer, however, the crew turned out not to be frogmen, but German journalists from the TV channel ZDF, who had hired the same 'Andromeda' to reconstruct the boat's sailing route between September 6 and 23, 2022 from the German ports of Rostock and Wiek, to Christiansø, on to Swedish Sandhamn, Kolobrzeg in Poland and back to Germany.
"You wouldn't believe the conspiracy theories I've been presented with; that Russians, Americans, Chinese, Ukrainians or other interested parties were behind the Nord Stream sabotage. I have been shown pictures of possible perpetrators, so when the 'Andromeda' docked here on Christiansø, I thought that things were about to get crazy," explains Søren Thiim Andersen.

John Anker Nielsen is harbour master on the Danish island of Christiansø. The island is close to the site of the attacks on the #NordStream pipeline. First condemned to silence, he is now allowed to reveal a very nasty ''conspiracy theory'', namely that in the days before the attacks, ships passed by the island that had switched off their radios. It turned out that they were American naval vessels. When Nielsen came close to the ships with the rescue brigade, he was ordered to turn back, writes the Danish newspaper Politiken. No one was allowed to approach. The harbour master agrees with the American journalist Seymour Hersh, who blames the USA for the sabotage.
The Americans had small unmanned submarines that could carry out any task, Nielsen was told.
According to Erik Andersson, it was a convoy led by the USS Kearsarge. He noted that the rescue teams left port at 6:43 p.m. on Sept. 21, 2022, and made their way to the scene of the attacks. Halfway there, the lifeboat suddenly turned around.
Nielsen approached the convoy and about 15 minutes after the "confrontation", the American warships switched their AIS transponders back on.
Andersson contacted Nielsen, but he would say nothing more.
"He is a brave man," wrote journalist Joost Niemöller about the harbour master.

"For the first few days, the harbor master said he was “not allowed to say a thing”. But today, John Anker Nielsen can reveal that four or five days before the Nord Stream blasts, he was out with the rescue service on Christiansø because there were some ships with switched-off radios. They turned out to be American naval vessels, and when the rescue service approached, they were told by Naval Command to turn back.
Therefore, the harbor master has some faith in the theory that American star journalist Seymour Hersh, among others, has put forward without any documentation: that the US was behind the sabotage. The Americans have these small unmanned submarines that can solve any task, John Anker Nielsen has been told"
