Danish cargo ship that sank off Halmstad in 1959 after developing a leak in the hull. When the water rose in the engine room, the engine cut out and the ship slowly sank. All on board were rescued by the Torekov sea rescue service, which came to the rescue with the rescue ship Bernhard Ingelsson. Attempts were made to tow Tök, but after a couple of hours the attempts were abandoned after the tow line broke. The crew was taken to safety to Torekov. M/S Tök was on its way from Gotland to Halden with a cargo of limestone at the time of the sinking.

The wreck lies keel-straight on the bottom and is a fairly easy wreck to dive considering that there are very few fishing lines and trawls. There are some places to look in but objects are very sparse.

A nice wreck for an evening dive.
