The
steamer Siggen was built in Sunderland in England, and was
launched in 1887. Her original name and identity is a bit
unclear, but she was sold to Norway in the early1890s. .
She went down at Marstein lighthouse in 1892, on her first
voyage for her new Norwegian owners in Bergen. This of
course was a great loss for the company. From what
we can see from historical documents, it looks like she
might have been the first ship bearing that name, but
was "forgotten" due to her loss so quickly after
purchase. The few remains of her rest today
northeast of the reef at Marsteinen lighthouse on a depth
of approximately 33 to 40 meter.
