The steamship Bjørgvin was used in coastal transport and stranded south of Tønsberg Tønne near Østerøya in Vestfold county on the 1. May 1960. Bjørgvin whom earlier had been unlucky and had been in several accidents before, had through the years gained a rumor as a very unlucky vessel. Already under the construction of the vessel the shipyard went bankrupt, but the vessel was put in service in 1910. In August 1928 the vessel had her first accident where ten people died outside Haugesund. Some years later, in October 1941 another accident occurred to the vessel outside Mandal, but this time without loss of human lives. And in this last accident in 1960 there where no loss of human lives when the vessel stranded, but the vessel now found her final rest on the seabed after many years in service along the coast. The goods were later salvaged from the wreck among other equipment onboard, and on the sixties and seventies there were gathered both souvenirs and other things from the wreck as well. Today you can find the wreck of Bjørgvin on a depth of twenty meters by the Østerøya near Tønsberg Tønne. A boat is necessary to get out to the wreck of Bjørgvin who can provide a good wreck dive...
