Cremer
was a general cargo steamer laid down by Nederlandsche
Scheepsbouw in Amsterdan, and was launched in 1926 for the
Dutch company Koninklijke Paketvaart. She sailed in
regular routes between the Dutch East Indies, China and
Australia. Under a journey towards Brisbane she sailed
into a storm and hit ground near Keswick Island 5.
September 1943. She was firmly stuck on the reef, and
inventory and the cargo was salvaged in the following
days, before she disappeared in the deep and was written
off as a total loss. The battered wreck was found by
divers in 1984, and rest today barely ten meters from
shore on a depth of 5 to 15 meters outside St Bees Island
near Grimston Point.
