SUNK
S/S Frankenwald ended
her days in the waters
outside Ytre Sula in the Sognefjorden on the 6th of January 1940. The German vessel lost control and drove straight into Brattholmen, where the vessel quickly started to take in water. Her distress signals were heard by Bergen Radio, but soon all electrical power was lost. The crew were ordered into the lifeboats and thereafter taken onboard by the fishing vessels who came to assist, and subsequently they were taken to Bergen. The vessel rested peacefully in Brattholmen  and nothing much happened to her for a long time.

DIVING
Upright wreck in 35m with masts to 5m. Sheltered, but some tide (possibly only above halocline). Bows to the N. In the recent years the wreck has been much visited by sports divers and is a popular dive site in this area of the country. The wreck of Frankenwald is situated in a depth of fifteen to thirty meters on the west side of Ytre Sula.
