In a pea soup fog at Vancouver on March 17 the Pacific Coast Steamship steamer City of Seattle collided with the British bark Bankleigh causing damage estimated between 25 000 and 40 000 with possible further survey revealing heavier losses.

Bankleigh moored at a wharf when hit, damaging its port side and jamming the starboard side, while the wharf suffered about 5 000 in damage and fifteen feet of the structure was displaced.
