Unknown Danger for the Lieutenant-General Kroesen (1876)

“On the 19th of January the steamer Earl Canning, one of four new steamships destined to increase the number of the NISN Company’s fleet, arrived at Batavia and is said to be the finest and largest of that company’s vessels. During the voyage out from Liverpool, she had, owing to violent storms, to run into Gibraltar to repair, which delayed her arrival at her destination. Her name is to be changed to that of Lieutenant General Kroesen.” The Brisbane Telegraph April 28th, 1873.    Ship Name: Lieutenant-General Kroesen  Ship Built: Unknown, Went Into Service 1873 Tonnage: 967 Nationality: Netherlands  Ship Type: Iron Hull Screw Steamer  Year Wrecked: 1876 Reason for Wreck: Uncharted Rock  Location Wrecked: Strait of Sunda  Lives Lost: 145 Sources: https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes18760708-1.2.7?qt=general,%20kroesen,%20ship&q=general%20kroesen%20ship https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/singdailytimes18780206-1.2.16.3?qt=general,%20kroesen,%20ship&q=general%20kroesen%20ship https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/singdailytimes18771026-1.2.6.3?qt=verloop,%20kroesen&q=verloop%20kroesen https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/singdailytimes18771101-1.2.9.2?qt=verloop,%20kroesen&q=verloop%20kroesen https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/stoverland18760722-1.2.10 https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/92253947?searchTerm=kroesen https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/stoverland18760708-1.2.14?qt=general,%20kroesen,%20ship&q=general%20kroesen%20ship https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/5901391?searchTerm=kroesen%20dutch%20ship https://newspaperarchive.com/london-and-china-telegraph-aug-28-1876-p-5/ https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/169488846?searchTerm=GENERAL%20KROESEN https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3333026/3333029/20/sunda%20general%20kroesen%20shipwreck%20dutch
