Øygar
sailed as a passenger boat in Iceland and along the
Norwegian coastline until the German invasion of Norway in
April 1940. She survived an engagement with a German boat
22. April, and was later requisitioned by the Kriegsmarine
after Norway capitulated. The Germans put her in service
as a guard boat and renamed her Bisam NB 07, and was later
assigned as a Vorposten boot named V- 5507. She survived
the war, and re-entered the duty as a passenger boat.
After decades of service, she was decommissioned and towed
to Moldvær 4. November 1983 to be scrapped. She later sank
while laid up at anchor and the wreck was written off and
abandoned. She was deleted from the official ship lists as
late as in 2013, and the wreck rest today on her keel with
a slight listing on a depth of 15 to 23 meter. Also see
the wreck of the coastal freighter Statsraad Riddervold.
