Full Description
The German 2 - masted Schooner Angela collided with the Belgian liner Vanderland 15 miles SW of Portland in 1907. (1)
The Angela was a very lucky vessel. On the 26th May 1907 she was rammed by the Belgian liner Vanderland, fifteen miles south west of Portland. Severely damaged she was towed all the way into Portland Harbour where she was repaired. (2)
The building date for this vessel is an estimate based on an average age at wrecking of twenty years. This average is derived from those vessels wrecked on the Dorset coast whose age at wrecking is known.
