The Norwegian barque Hans Nielsen Hauge (1890s)

The last picture of the crew of the Norwegian barque Hans Nielsen Hauge posing on the deck. The photo was shot by an unknown photographer (prob.) in the end of the 1890s in Bristol (UK).

In 1899 the 126 ft barque (built in 1872) met its fate on the stormy Atlantic on its way from Apalachicola (FL, USA) to Le Havre, (France). The ship was observed dismasted, abandoned and full of water in position 51.29N–11.40W. Later she drifted ashore near Vaneltia Island, Ireland.

My colorization of an image in the Maritime Museum of Norway archive (Digital Museum).
