Breiva sank utenfor Grønningen fyr under en reise fra Kristiansand til Nordnorge med en last av tre. Etter at de forlot Kristiansand, oppsto en brann i maskinrommet, og mannskapet måtte forlate skipet. Senere samme dag ble Breiva tatt i slep inn igjen mot Kristiansand, men ved innseilingen til Kristiansand forsto redningsmannskapet at skipet ikke kunne reddes, og droppet kabelen. Breiva ble forlatt brennende, og kort tid etter forsvant skipet i dypet. Idag ligger vraket på fem til trettifem meters dyp, og selv om skipet brant helt ned til vannlinjen, kan man fortsatt se store deler av skipet...


Breiva sank outside Grønningen lighthouse during a journey from Kristiansand city to Northern Norway with a cargo of wood. After they left Kristiansand, a the engine room caught fire and the crew had to abandon ship. Later the same day Breiva was taken under tow towards Kristiansand, but at the entrance to Kristiansand the rescue party understood that the ship couldn't be saved, and dropped the cable. Breiva was left burning and shortly after the ship disappeared in the depth. Today the wreck lies on a depth of five to thirty five meters, and even if the ship burned all the way down to the waterline, you can still see large parts of the ship...
