COLIN ARCHER 606

RS1 is It was built in 1893 for the "Norwegian Society for Shipwreck Salvage" at the Colin Archer shipyard in Rekkevig near Larvik, Norway. RS1 is was subsequently named 'Colin Archer' after its designer and builder. The ship's sharp design gave it worldwide fame. Around 30 boats of this type have been built, most of them at the Colin Archer shipyard in Tollerodden in Larvik. RS1 Colin Archer has had a checkered past. After 40 years as a salvage vessel, the ship was sold in 1933 to private owners, who added a small auxiliary engine. Through the Atlantic in 1938, suffered severe storm damage in North Carolina in October 1954 and was found as a wreck on the Potomac River in 1960. After 23 years in the United States, the Colin Archer was returned to Norway in December 1961 as deck cargo on the freighter "MS Tasco ". Then followed a series of owners - and good times and bad times. Finally, on April 21, 1972, the most old rescue ship in Norway was handed over to the Norwegian Maritime Museum in Oslo.
