The
steamship Christiansund was built in Renfrew in Scotland,
and was launched in 1881 for a Danish company. She changed
both name and owners a couple of times before she ended up
in the Norwegian company Indherrads Dampskipselskap, who
renamed her Havda. Under
a journey from Måløy to Bergen with passengers, she was
attacked and sunk by British airplanes outside the island
Luta 9.December 1944. She was hit by bombs and machine gun
fire, and disappeared in the freezing water within a few
minutes. Two people were instantly killed by the enemy
fire, and another two died on their way to
hospital.The remains of her rest today west of Luta on a
depth of 15 to 30 meter.
