Spes
& Fides was built in 1864 as a schooner ship for Svend
Foyn, who is credited to be the founder of the modern
whaling industry. She was the first whaler which were
built with a steam engine and she was used as a whaler
until 1904. In 1913 she was renamed to Evenæs and its
believed she then was used as a local coastal freighter.
In December 1917 she sank during a journey from Storfjord
to Melbu with a crew of seven men and loaded with fish.
The wreck rest today right outside the southern tip of
Tisnes outside Tromsø, on a depth of 18 meter. This wreck
was earlier called "Todt" or the "Tott-wreck" for some
reason, and was identified and surveyed in late 2014 and
early 2015.
