Guttenburgとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Guttenburg, a German brig of 170 tons met with hurricane force wind in thick fog and snow off the Goodwin sands, Ramsgate, which drove the brig onto the "south sand head" where it capsized during the storm. The Guttenburg had been carrying 14 survivors from the Canton, which she had found dis-masted and waterlogged off the coast of Newfoundland. The survivors of the Canton wreck were rescued and later delivered safely into the hands of the Walmer lugger Cosmopolite in a chance meeting off of Dover. After that, the Guttenburg continued on, only to become trapped upon the Goodwin Sands; distress signals were fired but were not seen by the harbor authorities because of the weather.
