D/S
Edith sank in the night, 23rd. of april,1909 after collision with
D/S Oxford. The tragedy took place at Askholmen, a little north
from Drøbaksund in Oslofjorden. 16 man lost their lives.
The Captains wife came onboard at Kristiansand…. she also
lost her life.
Edith
was on her way with a cargo of cinders, salt, sulphur, flour,
tin and a big amount of porcelain and stoneware. Lots of the porcelain
and stoneware has been salvaged through the time.
Today
the wreck is laying in two pieces from 21 to 72 meters of depth.
The frontship is laying from 21 to 35 meters, on a ledge and the
rest is laying from 46 to 72 meters of depth.
The
wreck is among the most wellknown divespots at the Oslofjord and
since the concept of "Technical diving" reached the
scandinavian part of the world, this wreck has been of great interest
for this kind of divers. Unfortunately,
Edith has demanded her lives after she sank. In 1985, a young
diver lost his life at the deep part of the wreck and in 1999,
another 2 divers lost their life under mysterious circumstances….also
at the deep part.
