| Representation of a builders plate from the Barque KOBENHAVN built at the Leith Shipyards of Ramage & Ferguson Ltd, 1921 |
This picture of what may or not have
been a builders plate from the unfortunate ship KOBENHAVN Yard No 256 built at
the Ramage & Ferguson shipyards at Leith in 1921, when she was lost in the
Winter of 1928 has now been assessed by experts in Denmark and in Glasgow and
the consensus of opinion is that this particular builders plate is not from the
poor ship, although it may have been made as a commemoration of the mysterious
loss of the KOBENHAVN with all her 15 crew and 45 cadets.
So one of the great maritime mystery stories continues and perhaps one day we shall find out what happened to this 5 masted Barque 3,901 grt, which was the largest sailing ship ever built in a British shipyard.
