Outside Holmestrand city the island Langøya can be found. The place has been in use since 1685, and is today a reception for special waste materials. The waste has been transported by boats to the island for many years, and today two of these rests on the bottom outside the island. The biggest one of these two ships is the wreck of the barge Astri. Originally the ship was from England and had been used in transport along the British coast, but was bought by the company Christiania Portland Cementfabrikk in 1962 and put into service with transportation of concrete between Slemmestad and Kristiania ( Oslo ). And it should not go more than five years before Astri ended on the sea bottom outside the island fully loaded with a cargo of stone a winters day in 1967. The ship sank near the pier on Langøya, but in the years that followed the ship has moved herself farther out in the fjord and rests now on a depth of eleven to twenty meters, with the stern as the most shallow part. The wreck is completely intact and stands on her keel on the sea bed as a truly "Donald Duck" wreck right outside the two small wharfs on Langøya. Approximately one hundred and fifty meters away from Astri the little wreck of the steamship Cement 2 rest. To visit these wrecks you need a boat...
