Fusion H10 was built in 1970 and was used as a fishing trawler. The ship was 100 tons and had an engine of 575 hp.

After Fusion had been out trawling and filling the holds with herring, she was on her way with her cargo to the port of Gilleleje in Denmark on January 12, 1993. There was a strong wind and there were big waves on the sea. In the afternoon, the bow began to take on water and the crew raised the alarm and immediately went into the lifeboat. A while later they were rescued aboard the fishing trawler Gitte, which took them to Gilleleje. None of the crew were injured in the sinking.

Today the ship is lying on its keel on the bottom. Both masts have been blown off so as not to be an obstacle to shipping in the area. In the stern there is a large superstructure where you can swim in and take a look. Here, among other things, there is a toilet. Behind the wheelhouse are the tanks in which the herring was stored. Here you can also see some winches and a lot of corrected sheet metal. At the very front of the bow there is a ball of thick wire.
