Notes about Gerrit Smit

De Johanna IJM 290 was, tijdens een westerstorm, op 13 oktober 1916 op de Vliehorst nabij Vlieland op een zandplaat gelopen.
De bemanning besloot zo snel mogelijk de boot te verlaten.
Echter een staalkabel van de deksloep raakte in de nog draaiende schroef.
De boot werd onderwater getrokken.
Elf personen verloren hierbij het leven.
Het schip, de Johanna IJM 290, werd de volgende dag volledig intact aangetroffen.
Er werd verteld dat het eten nog op het vuur stond.
