Hermania was the name of a Dutch schooner that was discovered adrift off the Cornish coast in 1849, sans masts and crew.^[1]

The ships Captain, his wife, child and crew were missing. The lifeboat was still in place.

Later career[edit]

The ship was captured by the Fylla off the Oder Banks, while attempting to run the blockade on May 1, 1864. She was eventually released and let proceed to Koblenz.^[2]

In fiction[edit]

The ship is mentioned in Castle Falkenstein (role-playing game). The reason given for the disappearance were mermaids.^[3]
