In 1877 another Haakon Jarl sank at Lødingen in
Nordland. This one on the other hand sank after a
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
Utfrundsflesa six nautical miles north of Landego in the
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
remains of her rest today on a depth of approx 25 to 35
