DISASTERS TO THE FLEET 



Operating as it does in far northern waters, where the dangers to 

 navigation are numerous and the waters are very poorly surveyed 

 and charted, it is a matter for congratulation that so few disasters 

 have been recorded as occurring to the fleet. The following table, 

 which is not claimed to be complete, shows the total wrecks of which 

 it was possible to find a record. No account is taken of the many 

 minor accidents to the fleet, of partial disablements, groundings, etc., 

 some of which proved very costly to the owners, however.
