Hi Bill, You get partans & lobsters like that aff o the Riff Dyke, North Ronaldsay, as weel, and wan pert o the Riff, nothin bit 'she' partans.

According to Miramar she was powered by sail, there is no funnel on her. Do the boilers mentioned belong to her? Or maybe another wreck in the same area?

The boilers were probably for "windlasses" for the rigging. I used to drop creels right in there when I was at school in stronsay. I still have a few bits of wood from her.

I would be interested to know if Mr Rendall still has any artefacts from the ship. I am a collector and would be keen to know what they are.
I visited Orkney in 2009 and saw the article in the local paper.

I am interested to locate the crew lists for the Edenmore as my grandfather certainly sailed on here at some stage and i am not sure if he was in the shipwreck or not. He joined the army after something caused him to want to leave the sea. was it the shipwreck i wonder. He died in 1918 in France. Fred Vernon Lindsley Gibson.He would have been 19 at the time of the wreck.

I have a name plate with edenmore carved in it. It is quite small and must have come off a ships tender. My family and I owned Papa Stronsay and lived there from from 1979 to 1987, before we emigrated to New Zealand. I found the name plate in the attic of the main house when doing some plumbing. It is now in NZ with us!.
