Meta
was laid down by Burntisland
Shipbuilding Company Ltd in England and launched in
1931. She was used in coastal transport
in the United Kingdom, but was sold to the Norwegian
company Christiania Portland Cementfabrikk in 1962 and
renamed Astri. She served with transport of concrete
between Slemmestad and Kristiania. Five years later she
ended up on the sea bottom loaded with stone in the winter
of 1967. She sank near the pier on Langøya, but has moved
herself further out and rests today on a depth of 12 to 20
meter. Also see the wreck of the steamer Cement 2.
