The
coastal steamer Albert was built in Nylandsö in Sweden,
and was launched in 1890. Six years later she was sold to
Norway and renamed to Kinn. She fulfilled many tasks durig
her career, being used as a fishing boat, coastal
transport and as a tug. She was sold to new owners in the
early 1920s and renamed Rekstøy. Under a
journey from Bergen to Kragerø loaded with limestone, she
hit ground at
Håkonshella outside Alvøen 25.March
1923. She sank within a few minutes and the crew barely
had time to abandon ship. The following day the wreck was
investigated by divers, but due to the damages she
was written of as a total loss.. Her battered
remains rest today on a depth of approximately 20 to 28
meter on Alvøpollen at Håkonshella.
