Title:
Inga
 |
| Thanks to Ian's fellow diver, Kevin
McDermott, for his great under water shots. |
Ian has an obsession called Inga.
She's not a woman, but a tall ship that
was wrecked off Tynemouth Longsands in a the Great Storm of 1901.
Ian first came across the wreck in 2001
and since then has done a lot of research on the ship and the people connected
with her. His research has taken him to the Public Records Office in London
and the North Wales Archives in Caernarfon.
The Inga was built in Sunderland and,
in her long history, survived regular, challenging international trips.
With this in mind, it seems poignantly ironic that she was brought to
such a tragic end, with all but one of her crew lost, so close to where
she was first launched.
