M/S "Holst Nordia" ran aground and sank on November 10, 1972.

M/S "Holst Nordia", a German coaster at 610 tons
was loaded with wood on the way to Hamburg. At very bad
Weather in distress, it was rescued on November 10, 1972 by the 8th
Man leaving strong crew providing assistance on a British ship
found.
The British ship found that the "Holst Nordia" had capsized and was drifting keel up in the storm.

A salvage ship from the salvage company "Svitzer" found the wreck floating 60 nautical miles west of Thyborøn, but had to seek shelter itself because of the bad weather and forego the salvage reward.

The ship drifted towards the Jutian coast until the stern sank and stranded in the water at a depth of 18 m southwest of Thyborøn.

Here the stern dug deep into the seabed and sank into it. Today only the bow with the forecastle is above sea level. The rest of the intact ship is buried in the seabed.

During the subsequent examination by divers, the insurance company
the ship's bell was recovered.
