Record of Casualty.

12/11/92 2.30am River Thames. Collided with the SS Joseph Rickitts of London, causing damage to our stern. Error of judgement of our pilot.

Memoranda by Skipper.

At 11am 24/11/92 when taking in the fish from the fleet. The steam cutter Columbia was laying about a ships length ahead of our ship . The smack Silver Lining launched up to our ships stern. I had to start the engine ahead to prevent her striking our starboard quarter, the smack Promise was running across our head to pass between our ship & the Columbia. As soon as the Silver Lining payed off in a line with our ship I stopped & put the engines full speed astern, but before I got stern away on our ship she struck the Promise amidships, the Promise struck the Columbias stern & the Silver Lining went stern into the Promise. The cause of the collision the Silver Lining not keeping away from the Cutter when taking in the fish.
