Frigate,
H.M.S. Crescent, stranded at the Northjutland coast of Lønstrup,
on the 6th. of December, 1808. The crew was terrible wrong, because
they thought they saw the coast of Norway.
The ship was on it's way from England, with supplies for the english
fleet at the Baltic Sea.
England was almost controlling every sea in the world at that
time, except from the waters around Denmark. Therefore it is remarkable,
that the danish people took good care of the survivers from H.M.S.
Crescent and nobody sended the crew evil eyes when they were transported
to Aalborg on the following day, after the wreckage.
226 men lost their life and 125 was rescued, after a tough battle
against the waves of the North Sea.
You can read more about this wreck in my article, published at
The Scandinavian Underwater magazine "DYK"
December, 2000.
