Advena

Shetlopedia - The Shetland Encyclopaedia

The Advena was a wooden hulled barquentine or schooner (the records are in dispute), 42.54 L x 9.57 B x 4.34 D metres, 472 GRT, built in July 1888 by A. H. Friisø, Arendal, Norway for Jens M.A. Marcussen, Lyngdal, Risør,(at that time Østerrisør, the name was changed in 1905), Norway.
The ship sprung aleak in the Baltic Sea in September 1911, was condemned after that, but was bought by Carl Johansson, Kalmar Sweden, who had it repaired and put into trade again, still with the name 'Advena'.
The ship had a crew of seven.
The Captain was Frederiksson, T. Jacobsen, or Andersen, (the records are in dispute).

While in passage from Sunderland, England to Kalmar, Sweden, laden with a cargo of foundry coke, she became unmanagable, drove ashore and was wrecked at the western side of the South Mouth, Out Skerries on January 18th 1912. The vessel broke up almost immediately. Five of the crew were drowned, two were saved.

Wreckage from this vessel partly overlies the earlier wreck of the Kennermerland on the seabed.
