The
steamer Seeadler went down under poor visibility and snow
24.November 1942 outside Brekstad. She was on a journey
from Trondheim to Ålesund assigned for maintenance duty
for the German Kriegsmarine. On Seeadler is Captain Faber
and a crew of fourteen men and a Norwegian pilot. In the
evening she hit ground and there arises disagreement about
their position and what to do. A little later they manage
to get clear of the bank, but soon they again are stuck on
another reef. Several attempts are made to rescue her, but
in the end she goes down and is soon abandoned. The
remains of her rest today on a depth of 5 to 10 meter at
Kvitsandskjæret outside Brekstad.
