| Additional information | The ship was named "Selseth" when it was built, and was named after the hometown of the shipbuilders. When it arrived in Ørsta it was renamed "Saudehorn" after a mountain in Ørsta municipality. In 1921 the ship arrived in Dyrøy and was renamed "Forpp", and it was under this name that the ship sank on the 3rd of coolie in 1925. "Forpp" had been in both the North and West Ice. On July 3, the ship was sailing through Forlandssundet on its way from Ny-Ålesund to Green Harbour to bunker. They were going to Hermansenøya to collect eggs and down. They were going at a slow speed when about 400 meters from land they hit a shallow spot that was not marked on the map. There was some sea, and for each new stretch the ship was lifted off the rock and then cut into the rock when the sea receded. Immediately after the grounding, large parts of the keel floated up, and after only 5 minutes the water was above the engine room. The crew of 12 men immediately got into the fishing boats and rowed ashore. Not long after, "Forpp" was lying on the bottom and the sea was at the height of the cutlery windows. At nightfall, the crew rigged sails on the fishing boats and safely made it across to Green Harbour. 10 of the crew later returned to Dyrøyhamn on the cargo ship "La France", while two of them returned to Svalbard and found work there. |
