Ofotfjord stranded outside Arendal 5. Mars 1977. The ship was on a journey from Fredrikstad to Bergen when the accident occurred. At two o'clock in the night the vessel stranded on Mellombåen reef. The vessel takes after she stranded in to much water so the crew immediately calls for assistance. They are soon after picked up by the rescue vessel Tønnes Puntervold and brought to land. In the meantime Ofotfjord sinks... In the following days some of the cargo were salvaged together with some inventory. It was also planned that the wreck was to be removed form her current location, but after a storm the vessel breaks in two pieces and Ofotfjord then finds her last resting place in the deep. The vessel which was built during the second world war had through the years different duties. Ofotfjord did among other things service in the British Royal Navy before she was sold to Norway in 1947. The year after the vessel was rebuilt and put into service as a cargo freighter. The wreck of Ofotfjord lies today southwest of Mellombåene reefs near by Torungen in the approach route to Arendal city. The vessel is in a relatively good condition but is broken in two parts, approximately by the mid ship. Ofotfjord lies on a depth of twenty meters as a classic Donald Duck wreck. A boat is necessary to get out to the wreck...
