The German bark Alsternixe, 3039 tons...
Ran aground in heavy weather at dusk on February 9, 1903...
One and a half miles SW of Cape Disappointment...
The crew, with Captain Richard Auhagen...
was rescued the next morning by a lifesaving crew...
Weeks later the vessel was refloated...
After having been considered a total loss...
The four-masted bark, valued at $90,000...
Hailed from Hamburg, one of the few large ships...
To escape the sands of Peacock Spit.
