Three Weeks on the Errol (1909)

The Age on July 15th, 1909 announced the arrival of the survivors of the Errol: “Striking evidence of the terrible privations the men had gone through was given when they landed from the Tofua at Druitt-street wharf. They had to be carried ashore, being too weak to sit up. They were placed on mattresses and conveyed to a van, which took them to the Scandinavian Home, where the Norwegian consul (Mr. Olav E Pauss) had them comfortably quartered.” Ship Name: Errol  Nationality: Norway  Year Built: 1868 Ship Type: Iron Hulled Barque  Tonnage: 1500 Year Wrecked: 1909 Location Wrecked: Middleton Reef Reason for Wreck: Struck Reef in Storm  Lives Lost: 17 Sources:  ⁠https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/198474616/18532360⁠ ⁠https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/76903309?searchTerm=errol%20shipwreck⁠ ⁠https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/170777914?searchTerm=shipwreck⁠ ⁠https://books.google.com/books?id=aUcyAQAAMAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&dq=errol+shipwreck+1909&source=gbs_navlinks_s⁠ ⁠https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/HNS19090716.2.54.4⁠ ⁠https://www.clydeships.co.uk/view.php?ref=1921⁠ ⁠https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/maritimeheritageapp/ViewSiteDetail.aspx?siteid=2099⁠ ⁠https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/GRA19090726.2.51⁠ ⁠https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/15101848⁠
