Mlawka was built in Germany and
was launched in 1880. She was sold to a Norwegian owner
in 1906 and was renamed Sterk. She sank
13.September 1909 in Skatestraumen at Bremanger
under a journey from Larsnes to Fredrikstad loaded with
stone and had a crew of 16 men when they sailed into a
storm. 11.30 p.m. she ran aground and water flooded her.
It only took a few minutes before she went down, and seven
men lost their lives in the accident. The rest of the crew
were rescued by the vessel Astrea who witnessed the
tragedy and came to assist. The wreck rest today as a
classic Donald Duck wreck on her keel at Bremanger in
Skatestraumen on a depth of approximately 20 to 30 meter.
