Skagen I was built as the Heimdal for
A/S D/S paa Bornholm af 1866
by Burmeister & Wain of Copenhagen. She entered service in 1914 in Bornholm services. In 1935 Heimdal was sold to
Rederi AB Svea
as the Brynhild for the Stockholm-Mariehamn-Åbo service. In 1944 she was chartered to
Ångfartygs Ab Gotland
for Nynäshamn-Visby service. In 1946 Brynhild moved to Svea's Stockholm-Helsinki route until 1954, when she transferred to Stockholm-Oskarshamn-Borgholm-Kalmar. In 1959 Brynhild was sold to Rederi Ab Continental Line, Göteborg, for a Falkenberg-Horsens service. The following year she moved to a Gävle-Mariehamn-Åbo route for Sandgren (Gävle), also lasted less than a year.
During the summer of 1963,
Brynhild
was chartered to Skagen Linjen, Göteborg (Stena AB), as the
Skagen 1
between Göteborg and Skagen. She was sold to Stena AB the following year for a service from Lysekil to Skagen, but was sold again in 1965, becoming the
Regina
. She passed through a number of further owners under this name before being broken up in Nakskov in 1970.
