The Dutch galiot Barteld Herman in Kolga Bay
Hollandi galiot Barteld Herman Kolga lahes
The Barteld Herman was a Dutch galiot, a broad, round-bowed coasting ship, built in 1858. In the autumn of 1870 Captain P. F. Barlinckhoff was carrying a cargo of rye from St Petersburg towards Amsterdam when a storm caught the ship in Kolga Bay on 3 October. The damage was too much and she sank, but the crew got away before she went under. The wreck lies in the bay near Kiiu-Aabla and was for a time wrongly identified as a ship called Maria. It is now a protected monument.

Barteld Herman oli 1858. aastal ehitatud Hollandi galiot, lai ja ümara vööriga rannasõidulaev. 1870. aasta sügisel vedas kapten P. F. Barlinckhoff sellega rukkilasti Peterburist Amsterdami poole, kui 3. oktoobril tabas laeva Kolga lahel torm. Kahjustused olid liiga suured ja laev uppus, kuid meeskond jõudis enne pardalt lahkuda. Vrakk lebab lahes Kiiu-Aabla lähedal ja see tuvastati vahepeal ekslikult laevana nimega Maria. Nüüd on vrakk kultuurimälestis.
