Minerva.

In 1860, the Dutch Kuf sails in the North Sea. In the cargo is old iron, ready to be unloaded and melted down. But the small crew of 3 men never makes it that far. 

The ship is leaking in the hull. With the threat of water on board, the crew has to think fast. The captain decides to leave the ship stranded. 

On November 17, the Minerva runs aground at Bjerregård. The rescue service does not manage to discover the ship before the crew is in the process of rescuing themselves. The ship's crew goes ashore without outside help. They all survive.
