The Norwegian steamship Anna Sofie went down 23. February 1944 west of Haugesund under a journey from Thamshaven to Emden in Germany after have struck ground on Trollholmen northwest of Vibrandsøy. The vessel still floated after the accident, but one hour later the vessel started to sink in the bay further north. The crew on board got away without any injuries. The vessel was originally laid down in England in 1919 with the name War Cove, but was later that same year sold to a company in Haugesund, and was then renamed Anna Sofie. Under the second world war the vessel did service for the Germans, and she was armed with antiaircraft weapons which was manned by German soldiers. The vessel did service along the Norwegian coast. The wreck of Anna Sofie rest listed today on her port side with the bow pointing southwards on a depth of thirty five to fifty two meters in pretty good shape. The wreck site is located a bit west of Haugesund, more exactly on Trollholmen between Vibrandsøy and Osnesgavlen, and to get out to the wreck of Anna Sofie you must have nice weather and a boat...
