Built in England in 1943 as the corvette HMS Farne for the British Navy.

Rebuilt as a coaster in 1948 at Krager Slip. 14 died in the sinking.

A large part of the wreck was salvaged in 1954-56 and the wreck has been blown up, but there is still a lot to look at. The wreck is nice, but difficult to orientate yourself on. Large open hold. Lots of trawl.
