Légende
The German schooner 'Preussen', run aground in St Margaret's Bay, Kent, 1910. The 'Preussen' was the largest sailing vessel in the world at the time of her loss in November 1910. After colliding with the SS 'Brighton' on the morning of 6 November, she managed to anchor off Dungeness, but the cables parted and she was driven out to sea. Tugs then towed her towards Dover, but she ran ashore off St Margaret's Bay. Between 4-11 January 1911 gales caused her to break in two.
