The Strength of the Eider (1892)

The Flintshire Observer on the 11th of February, 1892, reported the following: “It is reported that the captain of the Eider is strongly in favour of the view that the ship will yet be saved. It is understood to be this impression which induces him to stay at his post until the ship has been lightened of her cargo. The Queen’s message to the lifeboatmen has been posted on the front of the lifeboat houses, and the crew and their friends are very proud of it.”Ship Name: EiderYear Built: 1883Ship Tonnage: 5,129Ship Type: Iron Hulled Propeller Steamship Ship Nationality: German Year Wrecked: 1892Location Wrecked: Atherfield Ledge, Isle of Wight Reason For Wreck: Flawed Navigation in Fog Lives Lost: None Sources: https://books.google.com/books?id=bQdGAQAAMAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&dq=captain+heinecke+north+german+lloyd&source=gbs_navlinks_shttps://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1892/02/02/106082444.html?pageNumber=8https://newspaperarchive.com/new-harmony-register-apr-01-1892-p-2/https://newspaperarchive.com/oil-city-derrick-feb-03-1892-p-1/https://newspaperarchive.com/huron-daily-huronite-feb-02-1892-p-2/https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3722251/3722256/56/crew%2BOR%2Beiderhttps://newspapers.library.wales/view/3724564/3724571/166/eiderhttps://newspapers.library.wales/view/3722836/3722841/40/eiderhttps://newspapers.library.wales/view/4429001/4429004/23/eiderhttps://newspapers.library.wales/view/3787537/3787544/71/eiderhttps://newspapers.library.wales/view/3725784/3725785/9/eider
