Sandnæs
was laid down at Stavanger Støperi & Dokk, and was
launched in Juli 1892 as a coastal freighter for the
Norwegian company Sandnæs
Dampskipbselskab AS. A few years later the route to Bergen
was expanded, and in the early 1900s she was considered
too small for this duty. She was sold to Stavanger
Dampskipselskap in September 1903 and renamed Sandeid. She
sailed as a coastal freighter around Ryfylke after several
modernization. In the afternoon 5.December 1951 under a
journey from Skjoldvik to Stavanger loaded with general
goods, she sailed into a storm at the entrance to
Mastrafjorden and disappeared in the deep together with
eight men. Today the wreck rest on a depth of 55 meter
between Rennesøy and Utstein.
