Title
Wheel from the Wanja which went aground on Whitmill on the 13th of October 1939.
Description
This is the wheel from the Wanja. Until recently it was making a decorative gate to a house in Sanday but was gifted to the Heritage Centre. The Wanja sailed from Florida en route to Sweden when it floundered at Whitemill Point on the island. This was on the 14th of October 1939, the same day as the Royal Oak was torpedoed and sunk in Scapa Flow.
