This Stockholm-registered steamer grounded in dense fog on the Muckle Skerry while on a voyage from Philadelphia to Stockholm with a cargo of coal and contraband. In fact it is possible that she was a blockade runner carrying illicit cargo to Gothenburg which was ultimately destined for Germany. The crew of thirty-five including Capt. Bruce (who was of Scottish descent), took to the lifeboats next day when it became obvious that the ship was going to become a total loss and landed at Wick.
Built of steel in 1913, she was 118m long by 16m wide and 4638 gross tons. She had 1 x 3 cylinder triple expansion engine, single shaft and one screw.
Possible position 58 41 50N, 02 55 75W.
