Svan
was a former British landing craft who sank outside
Hovedøya in 1972. She was built in 1945 in England, but
the war ended before she could enter service. In 1947 she
was sold to Norway and rebuilt for civil duty. From the
mid 1950s she did service in Hurum with cargo and
passengers. In the beginning of the 1960s she was laid up
outside Hovedøya where she laid at anchor until she sank
in 1972. The wreck of Svan rest today on a depth of approx
13 meter in the narrow ship lane between Hovedøya and
Lindøya, completely full of mud and garbage which is quite
normal in Oslo harbor.
