The
ferry Sallingsund was laid down at Søren Larsen in
Nu\ykøbing in Denmark. She was launched in 1924, and for
the next decades she served several ferry routes in
Denmark. She survived second world war unharmed, and was
in 1946 sold to Norway. She was renamed to Grønsund and
was used as a ferry in western Norway until 1961. From
1961 to 1992 she was used as a work ship in various roles,
extensively used by the Norwegian Public Road
Administration ( Statens Vegvesen ) in the 1960s and
1970s. In 1992 she was deleted from the official ship
lists. For unknown reasons, she was sunk, deliberately or
not, and the wreck was found in 2017. The small ferry rest
today on a depth of approx 75 meter.
