Built in Moss 1910.

Pre war history: Delivered in Jan.-1910 from Moss Værft, Bjergnings & Dykker Co., Moss (4) as Gyldenløve 2 to A/S Gyldenløve (Johansen & Egelien), Drammen. Steel hull, 90.8’ x 19.3’ x 8.7’, 127 gt, 2cyl Compound (Moss Værft) 21nhp. In cargo service Oslo-Drammen.

 

POST WAR: Sold to Sverre Svendsen, Jørpeland (Stavanger area) in Aug.-1957, somewhat rebuilt and a 2cyl 2tev Wichmann 120bhp (1940) motor installed. Renamed Løven 2 in 1960. Renamed Ove Jan in Jan.-1962. Rebuilt that year, becoming 95.5’ x 19.3’ x 9’, 133 gt. Rebuilt again in 1965, 142 gt. Sold in March-1973 to Per Johnsen, Tromsø. Sank in heavy weather in the afternoon of Oct. 31-1973 due to a leak, 90 n. miles northwest of Hammerfest. Her complement of 5 and a child took to the raft and were picked up that evening by the trawler Andenesfisk 1 and taken to Hammerfest. She had been in Svalbard all summer to collect drifting timber and was on her way home to Tromsø with a full cargo. Her loss may have been caused by the cargo shifting.

Denne båten tilhørte min far, det var han som forliste med den i 1973.

 

Skulle gjerne hatt bilder av denne skuta.
