Two ships crash in Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
In the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal near Summit Bridge Delaware a collision between the tanker F L Hayes and the steamship Barbara Lykes triggered explosions aboard the Hayes. Four crew members are missing while five crew members escaped to shore. The Angelina sustained minor damage and two of its crew were slightly hurt. Fire raged with flames seen for miles, as oil aboard the Hayes held 700 000 gallons of high octane gasoline. The Barbara Lykes struck the Hayes on the port side causing a blast that sent fumes and fire through the galley and tank. Rescue efforts and details from the Hayes crew were released as authorities worked to quell the blaze and locate the missing sailors.
