Her bow was heavily damaged and in the following hours
they had time to salvage some inventory and personal
belongings before they had to abandon ship. She
disappeared in the deep a few days later under a gale. The remains
of her rest today northeast of Storebåen west of Lynguksen
on a depth of approximately 10 to 20 meter.
