Mooring
|
| NATURE OF CASUALTY | |
|
Mooring parted and struck rocks off Pigeon Point. Tried to maneuver vessel out. The vessel stopped at Pigeon Pt. to take on a cargo of tanbark. As she lay alongside the landing, the stern cable parted and a huge wave caught the craft swinging her broadside on the big rock, tearing a hole in the vessel's side. A second wave lifted her and smashed her down on the rock, completely demolishing the bottom of the steamer. Nannie Escolae |
