Parat
was built as a salvage and rescue steamer by Thunes Mekaniske Verksted
in Kristiania in 1905, and changed owners
several times during her career. Earlier the Norwegian steamer
Ferndale had run into trouble and hit ground, and
Parat sailed out to assist her. The RAF
Banff Strike Wing was on one of their regular
anti-shipping missions, and spotted the ships in the fjord
16.December 1944. After a few brief assaults, they
managed to sink them both. The
wreck of Parat rest today on a depth of 45 to 60 meter
right next to Ferndale at Seglsteinen.
