Captain Walker Reprimanded for Belgic Wreck
Captain W H Walker of the Belgic received a severe reprimand after a Yokohama court of inquiry found an error of judgment in misreading Mela head as Sunoseki when the ship ran ashore at Sunosaki on September 8. J C Hall presided with assessors including Captains Street Evans Tiltson and Macgie. Evidence suggested the captain appeared sober, with concerns raised by first officer Tiltson about drinking prior to the disaster.
