Of her crew of 18, ten Norwegians and one Latvian were lost, three of the survivors being picked up by the 3782-ton Norwegian steamer Dole (1912 – Mrs. Z. Heinrichsons, Riga) and four by the 1114-ton Norwegian steamer Vim (1913 – AS Victor Mullers Rederi, Bergen). All the survivors were landed at Methil. The wreck, possibly that of the Norwegian steamer, is orientated in a NE to SW direction. It lies on a seabed of fine sand in a general depth of 90 m (LAT). The wreck appears to be intact and is upright, with the superstructure still visible. It covers an area of 61 m in length by 16 m across and stands 6 m high. This should make an excellent boat-angling venue, as large numbers of fish can be detected on the echo sounder. If it is the Gudveig, the bell will be inscribed: Robert M&rsk 1920.
