SV Lom was an 1891-built, 40-metre (131 ft 3 in) long Norwegian three-masted wooden schooner. It was owned by Axel Smith from Arendal.
In December 1904 the full-rigged ship was driven ashore and wrecked on Terschelling, the Netherlands. The coxswain drowned, and the nine other crew members were rescued.[1]
The hull of the ship and the cargo was sold on Terschelling.
In 1983 the wreck was rediscovered. Multiple items and a part of the ship was salvaged.
