Providential rescue of sixty two aboard the Queen packet near Milford Haven
An eyewitness account from Rev. Mr. Waddy details how a fogbound collision near Skokam Rock sent the Queen steam packet to the sea floor. A tiny fourteen ton smack named Hope saved all but one, Irishman Lary, who slept in the hold. The group endured sixteen hours at sea before reaching Milford, aided by the Skylark cutter and Lloyds. The tale criticizes nearshore shortcuts by steam packets to save time and urges safer navigation.
