The
Danish frigate Schleswig hit ground at Missingene 13.
August 1711. She shipwrecked under bad weather, and of the
crew of 200 men, only one man survived. The remains of her
was found by Bodan Badowski while he was looking for a
nice dinner... crabs!. Badowski is a former Falken diver
and also inspected the wreck of Magne Sigurd in 1956. There are not
much left of the frigate today, but several cannons and a
big anchor still rest in the deep on the southwest side of
the southern Missingen. Norwegian Maritime Museum salvaged
items from the site, including a few of the cannons that
was found on the site. The few remains of the wreck rest
today on a depth of 5 to 30 meter.
