The
German steamship Elise Schulte went down in the deep under
a journey from
Rotterdam to Kirkenes loaded coal 11. January 1942 right
under the bridge in Dyrøysundet in Troms. She was stuck
for several hours and the crew sent out an emergency
signal about the accident. A rescue boat was sent out to
assist which arrived the shipwrecked vessel at the same
time she sank. It exist two shipwrecks with the same name
in Norway, and this have sometimes resulted in some
confusion. The wreck of this particular Elise Schulte rest
today south of the bridge in Dyrøysundet on a depth of 5
to 32 meter. Also see the other Elise Schulte who shipwrecked in
Trøndelag in 1926.
