The
small steamer Løveid was built in 1870 in Kristiania, for
service in the Telemark area and her canals. In 1892
the hull was extended with ten feet and she had a slight
increase in her tonnage. She was put into local transport
in the Grenland area acting as a passenger and postal
ferry. In 1939 she was bought by Olaf and Frank Beier, but
the loss of her barely a year after resulted in a great
economic loss. On
her last journey she was carrying a cargo of 28 cases of
porcelain from the company Porsgrund Porselænfabrik. She
went down 23.October
1940, and the wreck rest today on a
depth of approx 35 to 40 meter right outside the pier
