Jason
was a combined sail and steamship laid down by William
Simons & Company at the London Works in Renfrew in
Scotland, and was launched in March 1869. Not much is
known about her history, except she was sold and changed
name at least two times before she ended up in Russian
ownership. She was rebuilt in 1870 and had her tonnage and
length slightly increased, and two years later she was
sold to George Russel in London. In 1875 she ended up in
Russian hands by unknown owners, and was renamed to
Archangelsk. She hit ground at Ryvingen lighthouse
31.Ocotber 1886 and was written of as a total loss. The
hull is long gone, but the steam boiler and other wreck
debris rest today south of Mandal on a depth of 30 to 40
meter.
