Philadelphia Storm Messes Few Vessels in Delaware Bay Area
Reports from Delaware Breakwater and nearby waters say the coastal storm caused limited damage to shipping. Three vessels faced trouble: steam pilot Doat Philadelphia, schooner Vikine from Fernandina, and British bark Annasona from Dun Kirk. The Philadelphia and Viking collided near Overfalls lightship, causing major damage to the Philadelphia. The bark Annansona dragged anchors and rode the breakwater stones. The pilot boat arrived under its own steam. Viking remained anchored at Overfalls. The Annansona suffered more damage while at anchor behind the breakwater.
