The steamship Strassburg went down at Skåretrebåen north of Haugesund under a journey from Cuxhaven in Germany to Ålesund to pick up a cargo of fish. In Haugesund city they took on board ice and empty cases, and left the harbor on the evening on 10. February 1923. North of Haugesund they hold the course to much towards west and the vessel stranded on Skåretrebåen in high speed and was stuck. The salvage vessels Achilles and Hercules arrived the site on 11th of February, and worked to salvage the ship, but had to abandon Strassburg because of bad weather and the damages on the ship. Some inventory was either way salvaged from the wreck. Today the wreck of Strassburg rest on a depth of forty meters pretty much broken down. The steam boiler and lots of wreck debris lies along the reefs, and there are little left which reminds you of a ship today. The wreck is very difficult to find, and it is recommended that you get help from local divers who knows the place. You must have nice weather and a boat to get out to Strassburg...
