 Additional Information

English (Translate this text in English): The Oslofjord was a 5 Deck Trans-Atlantic liner. In 1940 she was retrofitted as a Troop Transport and order to Newcastle.At 8:20 on 1st December, she hit a mine 2 Nautical Miles from the harbour entrance. By 8:45 tugs had arrived but fearing the ship could block the entrance to the port, she was instead beached. The Oslofjord broke in two and capsized on the 21st January 1941. On 15 March 1943, the Greek steamer Eugenia Chandris collided with the wreckage and sank as well.

The wreck originally rose out of the water but due to the tide and shallow depth is now around 3/4 meters from the sea bed. The Oslofjord is the biggest wreck on the East Coast and has a large amount of metalwok visible. The engines have survied but have collasped inward. There is some coral growth and lobsters and crabs are often seen on the wreck.
