The
Danish frigate Lossen wrecked during a storm 24.December
1711 at Hvaler. More than half of the crew perished in the
accident and the storm that raged the area. The remains of
her was found in 1963 in Stolen Bay on Hvaler. The
Norwegian Maritime Museum launched the first big
underwater archeological project on the site in the late
1960's and salvaged nearly four thousand objects from the
wreck site. The Norwegian Maritime Museum in Oslo has
published a book on this subject, which can be recommended
reading for everyone with an interest in history and
marine archeology. There's were little left of this old
wreck, and her final resting place rest on a depth of
approximately 10 meter.
