“The bodies were ordered to be removed to Richibucto. Letters and photographs were found identifying Walter Holz. On the hand of the steward was a large gold band with dates and the letters ‘P. G. P.’ and the inscription ‘Ad Remine. ’. The steward would be a man about fifty years old. The bodies are now lying in O. K. Black’s undertaking establishment and the funerals will take place tomorrow.”

“… They were ticketed ‘Karl Josephsen, Arendal, Norway.’ In the first mate’s room was found a bag and chest ticketed ‘G. M. Pedersen, Arendal, Norway.’ In the forecast a bag marked in blue paint ‘F. X.’; another with the full name of Walter Holtz; another marked ‘D. G.’; another ‘E. R.’; another M. P.”; a trunk with “Faht” on the ticket. There were also a number of chests unmarked. Even to the hanging lamp in the captain’s cabin was ticketed the same as his effects. The calendar on the forecastle showed they had destroyed the dates previous to Nov. 5…”.
I’m unsure if Arendal newspapers covered this tragedy, but do your archives hold documents on the above? Feel free to share this email.
Kind regards,
