Siw-Aina

Also known as: KNM Farm · Farm · M/S Siw-Aina · MV Siw-Aina

The ship was built in Stavanger in 1900 for the Norwegian navy, was used by the Germans as a hospital ship and later a minesweeper during the war, and passed through several owners and names before ending up as Siw-Aina. In 1982 she was condemned and sunk off Svolvær, and the wreck now serves as an artificial reef with plenty of fish. The bow lies over on its side in the sand, and the holds and bridge have suffered damage. Several smaller wrecks lie around her, among them a small steam tug, and kelp grows in the shallower water close by. The wreck can be dived from shore, and dive boats also visit it.
