Here she is berthed in Goole, I find it srange with a beam of only 11.5.m, She had a deck cargo of timber. Will be interested to see how or where it was stowed. Terry.

Over the years there have been a number of incidents with ships of this size carrying timber deck cargoes. Its usually found that the deck cargo shifts on passage and when in port the crew start unlashing the cargo, then the stow collapses either on top of them or they get thrown onto the dock. Search the MAIB and it will give you similar instances.

According to my paper they all died from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning, deaths are not thought to be suspicious.
