Governor General Loudon (ship)
''Governor General Loudon'' ((オランダ語:Gouverneur Generaal Loudon)) was a mail steamer and excursion vessel which survived the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa.
==Ship history==
The ship was built by Caird & Company of Greenock, Scotland, in 1875〔 and operated by the ''Nederlandsch Indische Stoomboot Maatschappij'' ("Netherlands Indies Steamship Company") until 1891, when the assets and business of the company was taken over by the ''Koninklijke Paketvaart-Maatschappij'' ("Royal Packet Navigation Company").〔 She was named after James Loudon (1824–1900), a Dutch politician and governor of the Dutch East Indies (1872-1875).
In 1883, while captained by Johan Lindeman, the ship was present at the eruption of Krakatoa and survived the subsequent tsunami when the captain steered the ship head on into the wave. After the wave passed, pyroclastic airfall was the ship's biggest enemy. A foot of ash could have made the ship capsize, but the people on board survived because the crew kept the decks clear while the captain moved the passengers into the ship's hold to maintain stability.
After surviving the tsunami caused by the eruption of Krakatoa, the ship was stranded and lost off the Tengga Batoe reef south of Saleier in 1898.〔
