UJ 1704 was originally as a trawler for the in 1939 under the name Uhlenhorst, but was after the outbreak of the second world war requisitioned by Kriegsmarine and rebuilt to a uboat hunter. On the evening on 12. December 1942 the Germans awaited the pocket battleship Lützow and the support vessels which were should pass Haugesund on their way to Northern Norway. UJ 1704 patrolled therefore in Skudefjorden to secure against enemy uboats, and on the night she stranded on Trebåen south of Skudenes in heavy winds and high waves. The vessel was stuck for some hours and the crew went in the lifeboats and sent out an emergency signal. A pilot vessel saved together with a German guard boat and the tug Jomsburg the crew. Four men from UJ 1704 perished in this accident. Today the wreck of UJ 1704 rest on a depth of twenty meters and is very broken down thanks to the harsh weather out here. Only the bow section and the stern are still partly whole. The wreck is unfortunately hard to find, so the best is to get helt from local divers who knows about the wreck. To get out to the wreck site you need nice weather and a boat...
