Bjørgvin
was used in coastal transport and grounded south of
Tønsberg Tønne near Østerøya 1.May 1960. She had been
unlucky and had been in several accidents through her
career. Under construction the shipyard went bankrupt, but
she was finished at Fredrikstad Mekaniske Verksted and put
in service in 1910. In August 1928 she had her first
accident where ten people died in an accident outside
Haugesund. In October 1941 another accident occurred
outside Mandal, but then without loss of human lives. The
cargo was later salvaged from the wreck along with some
inventory, but the ship itself was over time broken down.
Today the remains of her rest on a depth of 15 to 20 meter
at Østerøya.
