Former Oddesund, former Paltanoke.

On the way from Trelleborg to her hometown Lidköping, Kisa sank in dense fog after colliding with the German patrol ship Iceland. The crew of 21 men were rescued by the German.

The wreck is relatively intact and lies on the starboard side. Large propeller in the stern. Further forward there is a large hole, perhaps from the collision. On the port side, a trawl hangs over the opening.
