Waterman No. 3 steamer strikes sunken barge near Westminster
On Sunday morning the Waterman steamer No. 3 struck a sunken gravel barge off the Duke of Buccleuch’s mansion after taking on passengers at Westminster bridge. The damage flooded the fore cabin but with bulkheads keeping the ship afloat, it reached Adelphi Pier and later Woolwich for repairs. The barge owner’s neglect, failing to mark the obstruction with a buoy, caused the accident.
