Overview

This is the story of a vessel, of a type called jakt, that was afloat and in service for 123 years. Such a long life is exceptional. Our vessel has had three names. She was named Stine Katrine when finished in 1868, Åsta 1 in 1935, and Anne Kristine in 1952, a name she kept through four owners over 39 years. She was originally a sailing working craft with but was later motorized. She then became a yacht and under two owners acquired two different schooner rigs. Over time she had five different propulsion engines including large heavy semi-diesels. She met her end in a raging storm off the coast of Virginia requiring heroic efforts by the Coast Guard to save the crew.
