Miscellaneous: sheleft Geestemunde for Sunderland in January 1905 with a crew of 15 & for four days was buffeted by heavy seas in the North Sea. Her ballast shifted & she took on a heavy list. When at the Dogger Bank she sprang a leak & the pumps could not cope with the inrush of water which filled the engine room & put out her fires. The crew were exhausted & with the water gaining on them the master gave the order to take to the lifeboats. Then they faced an even worse ordeal with freezing waves washing over their open boat & no provisions. After about 11 hours they were sighted by the trawler Aldgate. The master of the trawler went in search of G.N. Wilkinson &, finding her still afloat took her in tow, but the weather was so bad & she was so waterlogged they had abandon her & head for Grimsby where they landed the grateful crew on 4 February. On 7 February 1905 G.N. Wilkinsonwas brought into Grimsby by the trawlers Arizona & King Richard. She was in a sinking condition & was beached between Grimsby & New Clee.
