The
small steamer Rolf was built at Laxevaag Maskin &
Jernskipbyggeri in Laksevåg, and was launched in July 1887
and used in regular service between Bergen and the small
islands. In 1888 she was rebuilt and had her tonnage and
lenght slightly increased. She changed
owners several times during her career, and the last
registered owner was Ole Hidle in Stavanger. She
survived second world war unharmed, and was in October
1946 deleted from the ship lists. She was
partly dismantled, and the hull was sunk at Steinsøy. The
wreck has been known for many years, but her identity was
unknown until 2020. She is often referred to as
"Brannbåten" ( loosely translated : "the Fire boat"
). She rest today on her keel on a depth of approx
25 to 40 meter. Also see the wreck of P 564 at Steinsøy.
