The Terrible Toll of the Norge (1904)

On July 5th, 1904, the New York Times wrote: “In the number of its victims, the terrible wreck of the Danish steamer Norge off the coast of the stormy Hebrides comes near to that of the General Slocum in the placid waters of the East River. No disaster so extensive has happened on the high seas for many years, to remind men that there remains perils of the deep which human science has not yet succeeded in completely dispelling.” Ship Name: Norge  Year Built: 1881 Tonnage: 3310 Ship Type: Iron Hulled Steamship  Nationality: Denmark  Year Wrecked: 1904 Location Wrecked: Rockall, United Kingdom  Reason for Wreck: Went off Course, Struck Rock Lives Lost: At least 600 Sources:      https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1904/07/05/issue.html https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1904/07/23/101701588.html?pageNumber=2 https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1904/10/02/120289062.html?pageNumber=6 https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1904/07/04/100472182.html?pageNumber=1 https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1904/07/05/100472442.html?pageNumber=8 https://books.google.com/books?id=t_kwAQAAMAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&dq=ss+norge+1904&source=gbs_navlinks_s https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4143590/4143593/42/ss%20norge https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3376955/3376957/58/ss%20norge https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4143515/4143518/65/ss%20norge https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3377254/3377266/231/ss%20norge https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4143440/4143443/29/ss%20norge https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4143535/4143539/105/ss%20norge https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-pittsburgh-post-101-from-norge-wreck/4657735/ https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-new-york-times-sixteen-fishermen-los/4659529/ https://clydeships.co.uk/view.php?year_built=&builder=&ref=23683&vessel=PIETER+DE+CONINCK https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3640356/3640362/39/german%20shipwreck
