The loss of Skiftet was the biggest sea catastrophe in Åland waters. Hitting a belt of mines Skiftet was blown apart, 86 persons lost their lives and only five persons survived in the cold water.

Skiftet’s is resting on her port side at a depth of 23 meters, and the top deck can be reached at 15 meters. She rests in the bay of Rödhamn, approximately 20 minutes away from the harbour. Skiftet provides an easy dive due to her shallow position, but there is however always a small risk of collapse.
