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.
