The Johanna was on a summer cruise with 149 passengers and seven crew when it suffered water ingress. The crew was unable to stop the flooding and intentionally ran the vessel aground.

Built in 1892, the sailing ship was one of the oldest still in use in Norway. No reports of injuries.  Authorities do not yet know what the cause of the water ingress, but have launched an investigation into the incident.
