Jupiter
was built by Caird & Company in Scotland in 1856 as a
combined sail and steamship as was the norm at that time.
She sailed as a coastal steamer for the
Norwegian company Det Bergenske Dampskibsselskaband,
and was modernized with a new engine and hull improvements
in the late 1800s. On a journey from Trondhejm to Bergen
she hit ground at Røytingkalven outside Gulen and went
down in the deep within a few minutes. The wreck was later
scrapped on site, but there are still scattered remains of
her on the south side of Røytingkalven on a depth of 20 to
30 meter.
