Veronica

10 February 1906

wrecks
This Norwegian steam trawler capsized between Wick and Lybster after her trawl became wrapped in the propeller. The whole crew of ten men perished. At the time of her loss she was owned by Lindtner Chr. , Stavanger,

She was built in 1896 as Veronica (GY 175), by Cochrane, Cooper & Schoefield, Beverley (Yard No.165), for the Arctic Steam Fishing Co. Ltd., Grimsby, UK.   She was 146 gross registered tons (56 net), and her dimensions were 95'.0 x 20'.6 x 11'.0.  She had one x 3 cylinder expansion engine made by C. D. Holmes & Co., Hull, which delivered 47 net horse power.

She was sold to A / S Veronica (Chr. Lindtner), Stavanger in 1905.


It should however be pointed out, that it is possible the Veronica actually came to grief at the Boars Head Rock, five miles East of Lossiemouth.
