Pallas
wrecked at Stalsberget on the south side of Jeløya outside
Moss 18.November 1919. The barque was on a journey from
Leith in Scotland to Kristiania with a cargo of 830 tons
of coal. The night before the accident it blew up to a
gale with strong winds and snow, and with heavy thoughts
about all the mines that still floated around in the North
sea after the Great War, the crew had enough to think
about for their next journey. The weather conditions was
getting worse during the evening and night and four
o'clock the following morning Pallas hit driftet and hit
ground on Sauetogrunne outside Stalsberget. The sea flowed
in through her starboard side and soon the order to
abandon ship was given. In the following weeks cargo and
inventory was salvaged from the wreck, but the wreck was
soon abandoned. There isnt much left of her today, and the
few remains rest in the bay of Stalsberget on a depth of
15 to 20 meter.
