The
barge Borregård 3 was under tow from Drammen to Sarpsborg
in ballast on 22 December 1951, when the cable suddenly breaks south
of Hankø. Since the barge did not have an engine which could
help to decide the direction, she drifted inn towards Dekningsskjær
and stranded. In the days that followed the salvage vessel Ula arrived
the site, but Borregård 3` position on the reef made any rescue
impossible. Local divers in Hankø har found a found a wreck
at Navneskjær which most likely is the wreck of Borregård
3. The wreck rest on a depth of six to twelve meters. A boat is
needed...
