The German submarine
hunter 173 / Henrich Wesselhöft stranded in the autumn of
1940 at Sveiane nortwest of Stavanger city. The ship was grounded
until 14. October 1940 when she sank under attempts to salvage
the ship. We know little of this ships history, but already the
year after the Germans launched a new submarine hunter with the
same number. And also this one disappeared in the deep outside
Stavanger shortly after. Today the wreck of the first UJ 173 rest
on a depth of twelve to thirty meters at Kvitsøy. To get
out to the wreck of UJ 173 / Henrich Wesselhöft you need
a boat and nice weather...
