Stella went down westside of Lyngvær southwest of Smøla on 5. November 1920 under a journey from Newport News in USA to Gothenburg with a cargo of coal. Onboard the vessel is a crew of twenty two men. The vessel takes damage on the rudder at the Norwegian coastline under a storm, and the skipper therefore decides to seek shelter i the closest harbor. On November 4th they are outside Grip lighthouse, and the pilot comes on board to bring the vessel in to Kristiansund. But again the weather gets bad, and on the afternoon on November 4th 1920 Stella smashes in with a speed of six knots on the reefs at Lyngvær. Stella is stuck on the reefs all night through, and on the morning on November 5th the vessel starts to sink. The crew gets away from the sinking ship, and shortly afterwards they are picked up by the salvage vessel Parat. Stella sank on a depth of five to thirteen meters, and after the accident most of the cargo and some inventory is salvaged. Today the wreck of Stella rest on a depth of five to thirteen meters with the stern section and the midship totally broken down. The bow section and lots of other remains can still be seen of this big sailboat, and Kristiansund dive club can be of assistance with diving on this wreck. You must have a boat and nice weather to dive on the wreck of Stella...
