The
German steamship Elise Schulte went down in the deep
11.January 1942 right under the bridge in Dyrøysundet in
morthern Norway. She was a journey from Rotterdam to
Kirkenes loaded coal when she ran aground. She was stuck
for several hours and the crew sent message about the
accident. A rescue boat was sent out to assist, and they
arrived on the site nearly at the same time when she went
down. It exist two shipwrecks with the same name in
Norway, and this have sometimes resulted in some
confusion. around their histories The Norwegian divers
magazine Dykking
had an article about this, described the two different
"Elise" wrecks in Norway. The wreck of this particular
Elise Schulte rest today south of the bridge in
Dyrøysundet on a depth of approx 5 to 32 meter.
