1902 - On 31st of August 1902, Hospodar was moored at Algoa Bay, nearby Port Elizabeth, South Africa, having arrived from New South Wales, Australia, with a cargo of coal. That same day the greatest storm in living memory arrived and it is estimated that around twenty vessels were blown ashore in the gale that ensued including Hospodar ; all vessels were apparently wrecked. Thanks to the Sunderland site for the information. [797]
