DS Kronprins Olav disappeared without a trace in September 1915. The ship was last seen on September 26, 1915, near Flat Point and likely sank in a severe storm. The ship was en route from Sydney C.B. to Montreal with a cargo of 7000 tons of coal. The entire crew of 30, including 10 Norwegians, perished in the wreck.
