1973 and repaired. The year after she was bought by the
Norwegian company Det Stavangerske Dampskipselskap and
renamed to Austri. Under a journey from Norway to Poland
she capsized and went down under a storm outside the
Sognefjord 19.September 1979. The wreck was later scrapped

parts and wreck debris rest today west of Byrknesøy on a
depth of approx 20 meter.
