Hello Oliver,

Thanks a lot for your information! It was really interesting info for me, and I will study the file carefully.

Ypres was not a happy ship; during her few years in traffic to the island of Gotland, with the name Roma, she collided on her first trip for Gotlandsbolaget, and the following year she ran aground and remained on the rock for seven month.
She was sold to Stockholm in 1905, but was again grounded in 1907 and sank during an attempt to salvage her.

The Roma was however repaired and in 1913 she was sold to the Swedish vice consul in Tanger for traffic on the Morocco Coast. And finaly sunk in 1917..

Again - thank you very much!
