	Dogger Bank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dogger Bank (from dogge, an old Dutch word for fishing boat) is a large sandbank in a shallow area of the North Sea about 100 km off the coast of the United Kingdom.
		In the First World War, the area saw the Battle of Dogger Bank (1915), a naval engagement between the Royal Navy and German ships which were intending to shell the Yorkshire coastal towns of Scarborough, and Whitby and the town of Hartlepool in County Durham.
		Its focus was 23 km beneath the bank, and the quake was felt in countries all around the North Sea, causing damage across eastern England.

	North Sea - LoveToKnow 1911
		In about its middle latitude the Dogger Bank crosses the North Sea from east to west, extending for about one-third of the whole distance; near the English coast the depth here is under 10 fathoms and it increases eastwards to about 20 fathoms.
		Along the English coasts the tidal streams are for the most part normal, the flood stream running south to south-east and the ebb north to north-west, but on the Continental coast the movements become very complex on account of the varying influence of the waves from different sources.
		The favourite trawling-grounds are the Dogger Bank in winter, and the shallow waters off the Continental coasts in summer; these yield halibut, soles, turbot, brill, plaice, cod, haddock, whiting, andc.

		During the night of 23 January 1915, the German First Scouting Group (Rear Admiral von Hipper) left Wilhelmshaven for the Dogger Bank, a shoal in the North Sea about 60 miles east of the Northumberland Coast.

		Beatty's squadron, which consisted of Lion (flagship), Tiger, Princess Royal, New Zealand and Indomitable, was to rendezvous with the Harwich force (Admiral Tyrwhitt) north-east of the Dogger Bank, at dawn on 24 January.

		During the War of American Independence (1775—83), a bitter action between a British merchant convoy and a Dutch merchant convoy was fought off Dogger Bank, in the North Sea.
		Merchant shipping was a legitimate war target, because of the growing dependence of the main world powers on food and materials from their colonies.
		On this occasion, losses on both sides were small and the convoys were able to return to port.

		The report of the Commission established the British case, declaring that there was no complicity on the part of the British trawlers, fixing the responsibility of the cannonade on Admiral Rozhdestvensky, and describing his proceedings as unjustifiable.
		The report plainly stated that there were no torpedo-boats present on the Dogger Bank on the night of the incident, thus discrediting entirely the positive statements of Russian officers on this important point.
