History
The Lisa (fishery number IJM 207) was a sailing lugger from the Dutch port of IJmuiden.
The ship left IJmuiden on August 12th, 1918 to go trawl fishing in the so-called 'free shipping lane'.*
The Lisa was lost with all hands. The cause is not certain, but the Shipping Council deemed it likely that it was connected to the wartime circumstances (see references).
Perished crew members (see references):
Jacob Stam
C. Crab
Jac. Zwanenburg
W. Zwart
Albert Visser
H. Vijs
*) The 'free shipping lane' was a dedicated shipping route on the North Sea that was indicated by the German government as the only area where neutral ships could still sail in relative safety. The waters outside of this zone were considered to be war areas and there a total U-boat war was waged and sea mines were placed. It ran through the North Sea, roughly in a corridor between waters controlled by the Dutch and the British.
