The
steamer Strassburg went down in the deep at Skåretreboen
north of Haugesund under a journey from Cuxhaven to
Ålesund to pick up a cargo of fish. In Haugesund they took
on board ice and empty cases, and left the harbor
10.February 1923. North of Haugesund they held the course
too much west and she hit ground on Skåretrebåen at high
speed. The salvage vessels Achilles and Hercules arrived
11.February, but had to abandon her because of bad weather
and high seas. The remains of her rest today on a depth of
approx 40 meter on the south side of Skåretreboen.
