Elieser
5 was one of six ships that served as a hospital vessel
for the homeless people in Oslo back in the days. After
many years of service she was in a very bad state and it
was decided to condemn her. She was scuttled in Ormsundet
between the islands Langøya and Malmøykalven right outside
Oslo city 13.January 1984. Just before the scuttling, the
Oslo Fire Department was given permission to set her on
fire for training purposes. She burned all the way
until her hull was partly submerged, but she still
wouldn't sink!. After some more waiting it was decided
that the ship had to be rammed, and shortly after Elieser
got the final blow from a vessel nearby. Today the
devastated and burnt out wreck rest on a depth of 50 meter
in the middle of Ormsundet.
