Shipwreck or sea mystery · 1929
The capsized barquentine Esto-Naval found off Vergi
Kummuli purjekas Esto-Naval Vergi all
After a great storm swept the Baltic in September 1929, the lighthouse at Vergi harbour on the Viru coast spotted a large sailing ship floating upside down far out on the horizon. The rescue ship Meteor came from Tallinn and found she was the Estonian three-masted Esto-Naval, 302 register tons, which had been carrying pit props from Kotka in Finland to Denmark. Of her crew of ten there was no word, and Kaja feared they had perished. Meteor towed the hull into Käsmu harbour, the old village of sea captains, to be turned upright.

Pärast suurt tormi Läänemerel 1929. aasta septembris märkas Viru rannas Vergi sadama tuletorn kaugel silmapiiril ujumas kummuli läinud suurt purjekat. Tallinnast tuli kohale päästelaev Meteor ja selgus, et see on Eesti kolmemastiline 302 registertonnine Esto-Naval, mis vedas propse Soomest Kotkast Taani. Kümneliikmelise meeskonna saatusest polnud teateid ja Kaja kartis, et nad hukkusid. Meteor pukseeris laevakere vanasse kaptenite külla Käsmu sadamasse, et see õigesse asendisse pöörata.
