Langøya
outside Holmestrand has been used for a long time to treat
special waste, and several boats has done service to bring
it out there.Two of these boats still lies there, and the
smallest one of these is the wreck of the steamer Cement
2. Originally the boat came from England, but was bought
by Christiania Portland Cementfabrikk and put into
transport of concrete between Slemmestad and Kristiania.
In the years to come she was used in various tasks, both
in transport of concrete and as a tourist boat in the
Oslofjord. She was rebuilt during first world war, but the
capacity was still too meager, and in 1923 she was rigged
down to a barge. The exact date she went down is unknown.
The wreck rest outside the pier of NOAH on a depth
of approx 12 to 25 meter. Also see the wreck of Astri.
