Vera (1903) - a general history

Shields Daily Gazette, Tuesday, November 6th, 1900:
STEAMERS IN COLLISION AT HARTLEPOOL. As the screw-steamer Sprite was leaving Hartlepool for West Hartlepool, early on Sunday morning, she collided, opposite the Customs Watch-house, with the screw steamer Vera, owned by Messrs Hessler and Co., of the same port. The Vera was ripped open almost to her load line. The Sprite had to put back for temporary repairs, but was able to proceed to Hamburg on the next tide.
