| Summary | "De schipbreuk van de 'Berlin' 21 Februari 1907" by Jean-Louis Pisuisse is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work recounts the tragic shipwreck of the steam ferry Berlin, which sank near Hoek van Holland, resulting in the loss of numerous lives. It delves into the details of the disaster, emphasizing the human stories of both the victims and the rescuers involved in this maritime tragedy. The opening of the book sets the stage for the events that transpired on the morning of February 21, 1907, when the Berlin struck rocks and rapidly foundered amidst a fierce storm. Pisuisse, as a journalist, captures the chaos that follows the stranding—from initial reports and the desperate attempts of rescue boats to reach the capsized vessel, to the dismay of those caught in the disaster. He describes the scene of devastation, the frantic efforts of rescuers, and the emotional atmosphere as relatives awaited news of their loved ones. The narrative reflects on the challenges faced by the rescuers and the stark reality of loss as lifeless bodies wash ashore and the plight of survivors unfolds.
