Episode Details

A century-old figurehead from the German training ship Bohus, which sank off Shetland in 1924, has been meticulously restored and now resides in the Old Haa Museum. The original figurehead, known as the White Wife of Otterswick, was replaced by a replica after decades of weathering. The Bohus, originally built as the Bertha in 1892, was en route to Chile when a navigation error led to its tragic fate. The restored figurehead serves as a poignant reminder of those lost at sea.
