Feb. 2, 1917 the 274 ton armed trawler Holdene hit a mine 15 miles from Orford Ness in the North Sea. The ship was built in 1915 at Smith's in North Shields for the Lune Steam Fishing Company, but was requisitioned by the Admiralty the same year. I have no other details about the loss as the sinking of a small trawler goes mostly unnoticed by history, however the families of the seven men who perished felt their loss forever. |
