Lisette was an 1881-built, 50-metre (164 ft 1 in) long German three-masted iron schooner.
In August 1881 the full-rigged ship was driven ashore and wrecked on Terschelling, the Netherlands.
[1] During her maiden voyage with captain Hans August Oestman[1] and Johann Georg Oltmann[2] the ship was on voyage from Hamburg, Germany to Arica,[3] Chile with general cargo onboard, including glassware, rice[4] beer bottles and boxes of ironmongery.
During the night of 14-15 August 1881 the full-rigged ship was driven ashore and wrecked at Terschelling, the Netherlands.
[18][15] In a public sales the salvaged cargo was auctioned, of general cargo: draperies, woolen fabrics, pocket linen, lard, wax candles, wine, beer, distilled spirits and other merchant goods.
[16] From 7 September a daily auction was held in the morning of the general cargo and inventory.
[1] Around 1990, after shrimp fisherman Alfred van Nouhuys found something, diving was conducted for a wreck that had recently emerged from the sand.
It turned out to be the Lisette of which the prow was easily recognizable by the enormous bowsprit that ran into the sand.
This is nowadays part of the tree house in the garden of the wreck museum, named Wrakkenmuseum [nl], in Terschelling.
