SS Aline Woermann was a 1879 Reiherstieg Schiffswerfte & Maschinenfabrik-built 74-metre (242 ft 9 in)-long German steamship.
Multiple dive explorations were made to the wreck, many items were found including valuable golden coins.
The ship had compound steam engine creating 500 horsepower (370 kW) and a speed of 9 knots (17 km/h; 10 mph).

[9] On 19 October 1883, three sailors (around 20 and 30 years old)[5] wearing life jackets from the Aline Woerdmann washed ashore on Terschelling.
[11] A lot of items washed up and were salvaged, inclusive a white lifeboat with the name Aline Woerdmann, over 70 ash oars marked I, C, K and S Cameroons,[4][12] barrels of gunpowder, many 170 liter barrels of spirits, bundles of staves[10] and cabin doors.
[5][13] The mayor of Terschelling Dirk Reedeker made monthly appeals between October 1883 and March 1884 to the rights holders of the items to come forward.
