The Berlin in View of the Hook (1907)

The Healesville and Yarra Glen Guardian reported on the 22nd of June, 1907: “The departure was made in the teeth of a terrible gale, but there was as much confidence in the ship as there was in the capacity of Captain Precious, the senior captain of the Great Eastern Company’s fleet. Both had weathered many a storm in the North Sea. Rarely, however, has the North Sea seen such a storm as that which burst over it the night of the terrible disaster.” Ship Name: Berlin  Ship Built: 1894 Ship Tonnage: 1775 Ship Type: Two Screw Steel-Hulled Steamship  Nationality: United Kingdom  Year Wrecked: 1907 Location Wrecked: Hook of Holland Reason for Wreck: Trying to Enter Waterway in a Storm  Lives Lost: 128 Sources:  https://books.google.com/books?id=M90-AQAAMAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&dq=berlin+shipwreck+1907+inquiry&source=gbs_navlinks_s https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3433322/3433330/176/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4182008/4182010/58/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4182998/4183000/45/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4175434/4175437/70/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4183791/4183794/69/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3808228/3808231/46/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4175594/4175597/92/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4174054/4174056/55/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4175359/4175362/53/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3433296/3433304/166/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4175624/4175626/5/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3349484/3349492/176/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4173779/4173782/65/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3443725/3443729/71/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4173439/4173441/51/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3443725/3443732/131/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3349475/3349480/80/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/60288245?searchTerm=shipwreck%20dutch%20england https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4175334/4175337/98/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4175414/4175417/92/eastern%2BOR%2Brailway%2BOR%2Bberlin
