I am sorry, I forgot to leave some information about the image above, so here they are: You can see the KÄTHE NIEDERKIRCHNER which was a German ship that sunk before Muckle Skerry in the Pentland Firth in August 1965.
We, a publisher in North Germany, would like to use an image of this ship for a book cover.
Please let me know if you can help, and then we could talk about details and conditions. Thank you!
Best wishes

Sie hatten Zucker an Bord.Mein Vater war mit an Bord, das war die einzigste Fahrt an der die Ehefrauen der Matrosen mitfahren durften.

[They had sugar on board. My father was on board, it was the only trip where the sailors' wives were allowed to go.]
