A Long Cold Wait on the Deutschland (1875)

The following finding was reported to the British Board of Trade in April 1876: “The loss of the vessel was due to her having got ahead of her reckoning owing to the disregard by the master of the force and direction of the tide. They think he ought, from the warning he received, to have known that his ship was out of her position, and knowing this, it would have been his duty to have put her about, and returned slowly to his course. For not doing so, the court think Captain Brickenstein was greatly to blame.” Ship Name: Deutschland  Year Built: 1866 Tonnage: 2898 Ship Type: Iron Hulled Screw Steamer  Nationality: German  Year Wrecked: 1875  Location Wrecked: Kentish Knock  Reason For Wreck: Went Off Course in a Snow Storm  Lives Lost: Estimated to be between 100-150  Sources:  https://books.google.com/books?id=L3cBAAAAQAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&dq=deutschland+shipwreck+1875&source=gbs_navlinks_s https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/162647663?searchTerm=shipwreck%20narrative https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3502772/3502777/30/deutschland https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3510973/3510978/38/deutschland https://www.clydeships.co.uk/view.php?ref=3787 https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3441568/3441571/12/deutschland https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3511126/3511131/19/deutschland https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3502754/3502761/63/deutschland https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3024185/3024187/14/deutschland https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3307734/3307743/68/deutschland https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3441577/3441579/36/deutschland https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3797774/3797776/5/deutschland https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3058536/3058538/8/deutschland https://lifeboatmagazinearchive.rnli.org/volume/09/99/the-wreck-of-the-deutschland?searchterm=wreck+chart&page=14
