Vessels of Providence Where Disasters Struck At Sea
A survey of historic naval disasters at Spithead and Thames ports highlights the capsizing of the Royal George in 1782 with nearly 800 lives lost, along with later calamities including the Eurydice in 1870 and the Victoria racing wreck on the Thames in 1881, illustrating how seemingly secure ships met sudden fate and fate-like providence.
