The
tugboat Bransfield was built in Middlesbroughin England,
and was launched in 1924. She was sold to Norway six years
later and renamed Bamse. When the company went bankrupt in
the 1930s, she was sold to new owners in Oslo. In 1955 she
was renamed to Bjønn, then followed by the name Beaver.
She was laid up at an island outside Halden in 1975 where
she later partly sank due to lack of maintenance. The half
submerged wreck was for many years visible on the surface.
She was finally deleted from the ship lists in 1992, and
the status of the wreck as of 2009 is unknown.
