SHIPPING DISASTERS .
NORWEGIAN BABQUE FOUNDERS IN NORTH SEA THIRTEEN MEN DROWNED .
Six of a shipwrecked crew landed at Kirkwall on Saturday afternoon gave a thrilling account of their experiences in the recent gales in the North Sea .. The men were part of- the crew of tha barque Maryetta , of Norway , who was rescued by a British steamer on Thursday , and were landed in Kirkwall on Saturday . In the course of an interview, the chief mate J . Kristian who is in hospital suffering from a bruised foot , stated that the Maryetta left Olberg , Denmark , on 16th December with a cargo of cement for Brazil . From the first they experienced rough weather, and on Christmas Day they were off Fair Isle , when they encountered a very severe gale, and were driven north to the Faroe Islands . By that time only the foremast was standing, and the vessel was rapidly making water When off the Faroes last Wednesday the Maryetta was picked up by a British steamer , which lay beside her all night on Thursday . After long and trying efforts , two hawsers were got on board the Maryetta , and she was taken in tow . The weather tr-as siiJ ] rough, and by this time the bulwarks had been swept away , and the deck was strewn with the wreckage of the masts and rigging . It was then discovered that the vessel was making water so rapidly that Captain J . Clark Yensen resolved to abandon the ship . The lifeboat, containing the crew of seventeen and two British sailors who had been put aboard on the previous day to assist the crew of the Marietta , was safely launched but the sea was running so high that the boat overturned almost immediately. Most of the crew managed to cling to the keel, and succeeded in turning the boat , but it filled with water and capsized again , The same thing happened on four occasions, and each time some of the sailors disappeared . The British steamer, after much manoeuvring , succeeded in getting to the weather side of the upturned boat . By that time only six men were left of the original nineteen . Amongst the lost were the two British sailors already referred to . The six men saved , notwithstanding their trying experiences, are all well . The only one requiring medical aid was the mate , whoso foot was crushed between the small boat and the steamer.

The Wreck
The Barque Maryetta has no UKHO wreck Card.
The biggest clue to the location of the Maryetta is the log book of HMS Hilary. The position given at 01.15 a.m. in position 59° 32'N 2° 6'W. There is no charted wreck around this position.
4 miles from this position is a wreck with the Wreck Card 509. from the description and the MBES this wreck resembles a sailing vessel and not a steamship.
Survey by MV Sperus. 1983 reported from a side scan image:-
''LYING 010/190 DEGS AT BASE OF A 10MTR HIGH LEDGE. LEAST E/S DEPTH 85.5 IN GEN DEPTH 88MTRS. NO SCOUR. DCS3 HT 3.5MTRS, LENGTH 72MTRS, BEAM 15MTRS. POOR E/S RETURN, BUT GIVES GOOD SONAR SHADOW INDICATING WK IS ON ITS SIDE WITH TALL NARROW STRUCTURE (? MAST) STILL PROUD OF SEABED''.
The wreck was added to the chart as Wk 84mtrs.
In 2008 the wreck was surveyed by Netsurvey using MBES (Multi Beam Echo Sounder)
''5929.5985N, 0214.1917W LEAST M/B DEPTH 83.2 IN GEN DEPTH 88.8MTRS. NO SCOUR. LENGTH 78MTRS, WIDTH 15.7MTRS, HT 6.5MTRS. LIES 116/346DEGS WITH BOWS ?NNW. DOES NOT APPEAR INTACT. MAJORITY HAS ROTTED AWAY AND IS PARTIALLY COVERED WITH SAND. HIGHEST POINT AT STERN (?BRIDGE)''.
From the image it is possible that wreck 509 is the wreck of Maryetta
