collision 17.June 1924. She sailed as a coastal steamer
and was on a journey northbound from Bodø when she
collided with the Norwegian steamer Kong Harald at

Vestfjord. She was severely damaged in the bow section and
water poured into her hull. Within eight minutes she had
disappeared from the surface together with 17 people. The
