Q. What was the name of this ship?

A. The Prins Valdemar

 

Beginning in 1925 many ship companies began to slow cargo delivery into Miami’s harbor because of Florida’s involvement in suspicious real estate profits. To make matters worse, on Jan. 10, 1926, a four masted Barkentine ship flipped over by a brisk wind. The large boat blocked Miami’s ship channel making it impossible for other ships to deliver badly needed supplies to Miami. MMHN3.5
