Vraket
av en tysk landgangspram ( Marine Fahrpram ) fra den andre verdenskrig
hviler ved Tennskjær på grunt vann. Historien sier at skipet
slet seg fra fortøyningen og strandet den 21. November 1942.
F-244 ble forsøkt berget senere av tyskerne, men under arbeidet
forsvant skipet ned i dypet og gikk tapt på skipslistene. Vraket
hviler pent plassert på en dybde av ca tyve meter og er et stort
sett intakt der hun hviler utenfor Tennskjer. Vraket kan nås fra
land, og lokale dykkeklubber kan være behjelpelig med lokasjonen...

Information from German
Kriegsmarine Encyclopedia;
The Naval Landing Crafts - called "Marinefährprahm"
in German were the largest landing craft used by the German Kriegsmarine.
Although required for Operation Sealion (Invasion of England) in 1940,
the first of this transport ships were delivered in 1941. The development
of this ship went through several Types (A-D), whose size and armament
grew from class to class. They were mainly used for transport and
supply duties and not for their initial invasion role and could transport
200 Soldiers or 140 tons of equipment, including Tiger tanks. Marinefährprahme
were used in almost all Kriegsmarine operational areas, the British
Channel, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
