Max
Morris was a steamer laid down by J.Morris in England, and
was launched in January 1884. After a couple of transfers
and new names, she ended up in Norwegian hands in 1907,
and was renamed to Edith. Under a journey
from Manchester to Kristiania loaded with general
goods, she collided with the British
steamer Oxford north of Drøbak 23.April 1909. The accident
was published as a catastrophe in the newspapers, since
sixteen people lost their lives. The wreck rest today in
two separate parts on a depth of 23 to 72 meter outside
Båtstø, with her bow as the shallow part.
