The
steamer Sture was built by P.Larsson at Throshogs Varv in
Gothenburg, and was launched in 1915. She entered service
in the coastal route on Lake Vänern for the Swedish
company Borgsvik AB in Säffle that same year. Under a
journey from Slottbron to Gothenburg loaded with paper,
she capsized and sank 16. November 1936. The wreck was
found in the 1980's by sport divers on a depth of 25 to 28
meter almost completely intact outside Vänersnäs, 2,5
nautical miles northeast of Hindens light. Several items
including the log book was later salvaged from the wreck.
