The steamship Lynx was heavily damaged under an attack by Allied bombers close to Stavenes lighthouse outside Askvoll on 19. September 1941 under a journey from Hamburg to Hammerfest. In an attempt to rescue the vessel she was stranded at Stavenes. Lynx was registered in Norway and owned by Bergenske Dampskipsselskap, but sailed under German flag from April 1940. The crew was of Norwegian origin, and under the air attack the Norwegian pilot Charles Enoksen perish. The wreck was later attempted to be salvaged but Lynx slide out and sank in deep waters. Future attempts to rescue her was thereby abandoned, and Lynx was left to rest in peace. The wreck of Lynx rest today close up to the mountain wall south of Stavenes on a depth of ninety to one hundred meters. The wreck stands on her kell as a " Donald Duck " wreck with the deck on ninety to ninety five meters depth. The stern section of Lynx has obviously had a rough ride down the mountain wall, but the hull is in a good condition. Some inventory and the masts were removed under the attempts to rescue the vessel after the attack. You need a boat and nice weather to dive on the wreck of Lynx. And of this is of cource a technical dive...
