Morgana
was on a journey from Norfolk, USA to Vardø loaded with
coal, when she ran aground outside Bodø 13.November 1920.
She was laid down in Sunderland in 1892, but was bought up
and sailed to Norway only six years later. At the end of
1919 the ship was sold to Jespersen in Tønsberg who
renamed her Morgana. Only eight months later she was sold
to Andersen in Bergen. 13.November 1920 she was on her
last stage of the journey when she late at night and in
bad weather, ran aground on Fuglesangene outside Bodø. The
Dutch vessel Larenberg came to assist, and 24 men of the
crew were picked up and transported to Bodø. The captain
and nine men decided to stay to try to rescue her, but
again the weather changed to the worse and during the
night Morgana disappeared in the deep and was soon
forgotten. Erling Skjold found the wreck in 1995 on the
south side of Fuglesangene on a depth of approx 3 to 30
meter.
