Under
a journey from Oslo to Porsgrunn, the Danish steamer
Sigrun was spotted and torpedoed by the British Submarine
HMS Sturgeon outside Færder 3. November 1940. She went
down in the deep within a few minutes, and the whole crew
went down with her, including the Norwegian pilot. Lot of
ships were lost in those days, and she was soon forgotten.
During a NATO military exercise in 1985, the Norwegian
navy vessel KNM Tana found the wreck. She rest today on a
depth of 40 to 47 meter north of Sydostgrunnen at Færder.
