SUNK
The motor vessel Kilbulk
sank in Hjeltefjorden
at Austrheim on the 27th of July 1987 during a passage from Årdal to Måløy with a cargo of sand and a crew of four men. After the vessel hit the Mikkelsbåen late in the night, a distress call was sent out: but while she was stranded on the Mikkelsbåen the crew were washed overboard by the stormy seas. The crew were tossed in the water for a while before they were picked up by another vessel. Later that same day  Kilbulk sank.

DIVING
The wreck of Kilbulk lies today in two pieces, with the stern upright like a "Donald Duck" wreck, while the rest of the wreck lies upside down. The depth on the wreck  is 26m to 35m, and can be located approximately 100m straight north east of the pole on Mikkelsbåen. The site is only available by a boat in nice weather.
