歴史的注記
This vessel was launched as the War Coral but completed as the Orteric. On December 11, 1922 this vessel, while en route Puget Sound to San Francisco, ran aground during thick fog on the Fish Rocks (Point Arena) 70 miles north of San Francisco Bay CA USA. This vessel almost immediately broke in two in the surf. The Captain attributed his vessel's drift in a very strong current to the accident.
