TitleSailing vessel FLOTTBEK floundering off the Washington coast, January 1901
PhotographerUnknown
Date1901
NotesHandwritten on verso: German ship? at Ozette Rock

Note from researcher: [This] shows the Flottbek shortly before it was rescued from a dangerous situation by the two tugs Tacoma and Wanderer. This happened on January 16th 1901, so the photo must have been taken between January 14th and 16th 1901. Furthermore the photographer is mentioned as unknown. It is highly probable that the photo has taken by Wilhelm Hester, because there is a similar photo in the Wilhelm Hester Photo Collection of the San Francisco Maritime National Park.
