The U S freighter Princeton Victory with 165,000 empty tank rockets collided with a British vessel in the English Channel early today. The Princeton Victory arrived under its own power at Rotterdam harbor for inspection to ensure no explosion risk. The British ship’s identity was not immediately confirmed and officials checked the damaged hull about 15 feet above the waterline.
