'''Memories''' I lived in Texas City, LaMarque, and Galveston in the late 1960s and early 70s. One house my father and I lived in was a duplex that had been built for housing for victims who had lost their homes. I have been out to the shipping channel to see exactly where this had taken place. Even in the 70s, its still on everyone's mind, although the landscape barely shows evidence today. Anchor Park was added after I left the area, and dedicated on the 50th anniversary of the Disaster http://www.local1259iaff.org/disaster.html The anchor sat in front of the Holiday Inn.

2003 Northeast Blackout Disaster'''

{{Image|file=Photos-723.jpg |align=c |size=520 |caption= }} ---- ==={{Red|NORTHEAST UNITED STATES BLACKOUT}}=== The Northeast Blackout of 2003 occurred when a widespread power outage rippled across many parts of the Northeastern and Midwestern United States, and much of Ontario, Canada, on August 14, 2003. The outage began just after 4:10 p.m. (EDT.) Within three minutes, 21 power plants had shut down, plunging the Northeast into darkness and chaos. After nearly seven hours since the blackout, some power had been restored by 11 p.m. (EDT.) Though most of the power was not restored, until two days later, or more. In more unfortunate areas, some waited a week or two for power to be restored. Citing this Record CNN News http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/08/14/power.outage/ At the time, The Northeast Blackout of 2003 was the world's '''second''' most widespread blackout in history. #1 ''' First Blackout''' - The Southern Brazil Blackout of 1999. The outage, which was much more widespread than the Northeast Blackout of 1965, affected an estimated 10 million people in Ontario, Canada and 45 million people in eight U.S. States. Sources: * * *

[[Space:Aldeburgh_Lifeboat_Disaster|'''Aldeburgh Lifeboat Disaster 1899''']] |[[Space:Aldeburgh_Mayors|'''Aldeburgh Mayors''']] '''The Aldeburgh Lifeboat Disaster - 7 December 1899''' Brief Overview On Thursday 7 December 1899, at 11am, rockets were fired summoning the crew of the lifeboat “Aldeburgh” after signals of distress had been heard in the heavy storm. The lifeboat was launched but it struggled to clear the shoals. The sea was so high that after a particularly heavy wave striking its broadside, the boat capsized, turning upside down, and came to rest on the beach. Of the 18 crew, 12 managed to make it back to the beach, but six were trapped in the overturned hull. One of them, James Miller Ward junior was washed out from under the boat and although efforts were made to revive him it was futile. Hundreds of men tried to raise the boat to get to the other men but without success. After three hours, a hole was smashed through the hull, but the other five men were dead. It was nearly six o’clock before the boat could be raised with levers to free the last body. And one of those that did make it back to the beach later died from the injuries he sustained. Lives Lost The crew members who lost their lives that day were: :[[Crisp-1505|Charles Alfred CRISP]], aged 51, recently widowed, father of six :[[Downing-3156|Herbert William ‘Dogger’ DOWNING]], aged 23 :[[Ward-25176|James Miller WARD junior]], aged 21, married with one daughter and a son on the way :[[Butcher-3158|John Pearce BUTCHER]], aged 52, married with children :Thomas ‘Tom’ MORRIS, aged 36 :Walter George WARD, aged 33, married with two children, a boy and a girl The crew member, rescued from the sea but who later died from his injuries was: :[[Easter-1497|Allen Arthur EASTER]], aged 28, A memorial to the disaster is sited in the graveyard at the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul. It bears the following inscription: On December 7th 1899, in response to signals of distress, a crew of 18 brave men manned the lifeboat “Aldeburgh” which was speedily launched in the teeth of an easterly gale and a heavy rolling sea. At duties call to rescue others with their own lives in their hands, these brave men went afloat, when alas! the boat capsizing seven of them met their end and lie buried here. By a large fund promptly raised to provide for those suddenly bereft, as well as by the monument, fellow townsmen and fellow countrymen near and far paid tribute to an example of noble self-forgetfulness. There are seven crosses marking the individual graves of the six men who died at the time of the disaster, and the seventh who died of his injuries over 3 months later.

==Bradford Sweets Poisoning== ===Disasters Sticker=== {{Worldwide Disasters Sticker |text=died in the Bradford Sweets Poisoning Disaster |date= 1858 }} {{Worldwide Disasters Sticker |text=died in the Bradford Sweets Poisoning Disaster |date= 1858 }} === Background === In 1858, in Bradford, Yorkshire, sweets accidentally made with arsenic were sold from a market stall, leading to the poisoning of more than 200 people, including 21 deaths.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1858_Bradford_sweets_poisoning An initial newspaper report of the poisoning read: :"EXTENSIVE POISONING CASE AT BRADFORD. :ELEVEN DEATHS. MANY SERIOUSLY ILL. ... :Yesterday, from an early hour in the morning, Bradford was in a state of great excitement, owing to a melancholy and fatal occurrence, of which our correspondent has forwarded the following particulars. On Sunday morning, Mr. Leveratt, chief constable, on arriving at the police office, noticed a report which had been brought in, to the effect that two boys had died very suddenly, on the previous night, between nine and eleven o'clock. Subsequently he received information that some other persons were dead, and a great number ill, it was supposed from the effects of eating peppermint lozenges, which had been bought in the market by a person named Hardaker. Mr. Leveratt at once commenced an inquiry, the result of which was that he discovered the lozenges in question had been purchased by Hardaker from a wholesale confectioner in Stone-street, named Joseph Neale. It further appeared that Mr. Neale, in the manufacture of these lozenges, is in the habit of mixing with the sugar a quantity of what is called "daft," a material similar to Spanish white. A few days previously Mr. Neale had gone or sent to the shop of Mr. Hodgson, druggist, Shipley, for some of this "daft," and Mr. Hodgson being ill up-stairs, a young man in his employ, named William Goddard, who was in the shop, was asked for twelve pounds of this commodity, and he, not knowing where it was placed, made inquiry of his master, who directed him to a cask in the corner of the cellar. The young man went into the cellar, and by mistake, instead of supplying the applicant with 12 lbs. of this "daft," gave him 12 lbs. of arsenic from a cask which was also in the cellar, and unfortunately this quantity of arsenic was mixed up with other ingredients and made into 40 lbs. of lozenges, a quantity of which were sold to Hardaker, who is in the habit of standing in the market on Saturday nights.""Extensive Poisoning Case at Bradford," Leeds Mercury, 2 Nov 1858, p. 3.

The case was one of those arising out of the poisoned lozenges sold at Bradford, by which so many persons lost their lives. Mr Hodgson was a druggist at Shipley, near Bradford, and having been asked for a quantity of daff or terra alba, used in the manufacture of lozenges, he, heing ill at the time, directed his assistant where to get it. The assistant unfortunately served out arsenic by mistake, which led to the melancholy catastrophe. After a witness or two had been called, Baron Watson said that he considered the charge against the prisoner could not be sustain-ed, as he thought he had not been guilty of culpable or criminal negligence. The prosecution consequently abandoned the case, and the prisoner was acquit-ted. There were several other charges of manslaughter against the prisoner, to which he pleaded not guilty; and, as the prosecution offered no evi-dence, he was also acquitted on these charges.”'''''' https://search.findmypast.co.uk/bna/viewarticle?id=BL/0003089/18581225/044&stringtohighlight=poisoned%20lozenges%20bradford 25 December 1858 “Glasgow Courier” Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland “The adjourned inquest upon the bodies of '''Orlando Burrans, John Henry Burrans, Joseph Scott, Ann Shutt, and Elijah Wright''', five of the persons who were poisoned in Badford, was completed on Tuesday, before Mr. Jewson, coroner, at the Pack Horse Inn, Westgate, Bradford.” https://search.findmypast.co.uk/bna/viewarticle?id=BL/0000266/18581113/033&stringtohighlight=poisoned%20lozenges%20bradford 13 November 1858 “Yorkshire Gazette” page 11 York, Yorkshire, England “ …two children, named '''James and Betty, aged respectively seven and eight years, the son and daughter of Thomas Walton, farmer, Great Lever, near Bolton''', were suddenly attacked with all the symptoms of having been poisoned.

[[Category:Caister on Sea, Norfolk]] [[Category: England, Maritime Disasters]] == Biography == ===Birth=== After the sad death of his father [[Proctor-Beauchamp-10|Thomas William Brograve Proctor-Beauchamp]] and his two brothers [[Proctor-Beauchamp-20|Algernon Proctor-Beauchamp]] (aged 11) and [[Proctor-Beauchamp-16|Granville Pelham Proctor-Beauchamp]]. [[Proctor-Beauchamp-15|Reginald William Proctor-Beauchamp]] 5th Baronet of Langley Hall near Norwich had been thinking for some time to give a practical memorial or gift so that it could be useful, so it was not just ornamental. He decided to write to the secretary of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution to ask them if a lifeboat was required along the Norfolk Coast or near Caister. He received a reply confirming a Lifeboat was needed at Caister, so he gave a gift to enable the purchase of a lifeboat to bear his name 'Beauchamp'. This new lifeboat was built by the late Mr William T Critten in the Norfolk and Suffolk design in 1891 for £266. It was 36' long by 10' 6in beam and is fitted to row 12 oars double banked when required. It was a find day in Caister-on-Sea on Thursday the 21 January 1892 at around 1pm, when the new lifeboat was launched by Lady [[Jocelyn-140|Violet Charlotte Julia Maria Beauchamp]], as the bottle of wine hit the name on the boat she said "Success to the Beauchamp" and the crowd cheered.

The Cockle light-ship fired distress signals to indicate a vessel in trouble. The crew of the No 2 Caister lifeboat 'Beauchamp' were alerted and an attempt was made to launch the lifeboat. The heavy seas washed the boat off her skids and she was hauled back up the beach for another attempt. The crew fought until 2:00 AM in the dark and cold with warp and tackle to get the lifeboat afloat. After the launch, most of the launching crew went home to change their wet clothing. [[Haylett-100|James Sheales 'Jimmy' Haylett]], who had been the assistant coxwain for many years and was now 78 years old, remained on watch despite being wet through and having no food. The coxwain steered towards the stricken vessel but the sea conditions forced the boat back towards the beach and she struck the beach bow first about 50 yards (46 m) from the launch point. The heavy sea struck the starboard quarter and capsized the boat, breaking off the masts and trapping the crew beneath the boat. The time was now around 3:00 AM. [[Haylett-107|Frederick Henry Haylett]] returned to the lifeboat house after getting changed and alerted his grandfather [[Haylett-100|James Sheales 'Jimmy' Haylett]] to the cries coming from the boat.

(Verses for Recitation)
In Memoriam Caister Life-Boat Disaster (14th November, 1901)
"The Caister men never turn back" (As reported at the Inquest, 15th November 1901)
(The old Coxswain speaks)
What is this we have done? Why, our duty, and nothing more
Our sons will do it again, as their fathers have done before.
It is not for the sake of bragging; we are sailors, one and all
They signalled peril out yonder, and we—we answered the call;
For in face of the storm, in face of the wind, in face of the rising flood,
We Caister men never turn back. For why? It is not in the blood!

Aye, the tempest was raging awful, and the foam flew high on the sands
And the wind and the tide were mocking the weakness of willing hands;
But we launched the boat for all that (God help the poor children and wives!)
For the noblest duty of man is the salvage of human lives.
Then out on the hungry breakers, where the skies were inky black,
Our boat seemed swallowed by darkness—she went and she never turned back;
And we waited, and watched, and waited all night in the riving foam,
Till the dawn broke on orphaned children, and the wreck of the widowed home.

Aye, sir, I am an old man, and in speaking the tears will start;
But them words is the voice of Nature—they spring up straight from the heart
And I says them again, as our Caister men would say with their last breath,

Though the flare on the sands out yonder might light them on to death!
For in face of the storm, in face of the wind, in face of the rising flood
Our Caister men never turn back—for why? It is not in the blood!

I have fought in a hundred fights when battling with the sea,
They are gone, the young and strong ones, but to live in our memory;
Here they sleep by the wind-swept shore to the dirge of the moaning waves
And the Country's tears are the blossoms let fall on the Caister graves.

They say that the sea is cruel; they may be right or wrong
It is not for us to think—we are bound to be hale and strong.
Aye, sir, I've paid my tribute, and I humbly bows my head;
But I keep a good lookout to seaward, for the sake of them that is dead.
Aye, I'm proud of our Caister manhood, I'm proud of such acts of love
When I think of the names recorded in the Log Book up above;
And I'm proud of the words you quote, in the name of myself and crew
But not because I spoke them, but because them words is true!
For in face of the storm, in face of the wind, in face of the rising flood
We Caister men never turn back. For why ? It is not in the blood!
November, 1901. B. and BE.

Re: James Henry Haylett .
''Norwich Mercury:'' 14 December 1901 ===Memorial Fund - Administration=== After the loss of nine crew members. Eight widows, 33 children and other dependants were left without any help. At a public meeting held at the Town Hall, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England, United Kingdom on the 19 November 1901 an influential committee was formed and a Relief Fund inaugurated, with a prominent local solicitor [[Chamberlin-1821|Harold Chamberlin]] elected as secretary. The minute book, account books and associated paperwork has survived, and from these the following brief history of the fund has been compiled. Initial donations to the fund included £2,000 from the RNLI and a provisional weekly allowance was agreed on. This was set at 12 shillings (60p) for each widow or dependant and 1/6 (7p) for each child under 16 years. By the end of the month the fund totalled £7,418, of which over £3,000 had been raised by the Rector of Caister by an appeal in the London press. Clubs and organisations throughout the country contributed including churches, factories, ship yards, schools and public houses. The Corporation of the City of London gave £105 and the London Stock Exchange £300. Individuals from ever walk of life and from almost every part of the British Isles contributed to the fund which when closed totalled £11,870.75. The committee invested part of the fund in India Stock, an investment that was to prove a mistake in the years to come. :The recipients of the Fund were: :[[Ives-2322|Ellen Parker (Ives) Haylett]] aged 52, widow of [[Haylett-105|Aaron Walter Haylett]]. As the youngest of their three children was 26 none qualified for assistance. :[[Haylett-125|Emily Haylett]] aged 33, daughter of [[Haylett-101|James Henry Haylett]], a widow at the time of the disaster. The three other children of the family were [[Haylett-119|Victoria]] (14), [[Haylett-127|Flora Louise]] (12) and [[Haylett-129|Henry James]] (10). :[[Nichols-18277|Hannah Elizabeth (Nichols) King]] aged 52, mother of [[King-49815|George Ernest King]] who was single and aged 22 at the time of the disaster. :[[Knights-711|Charles Henry Knights]] and his wife [[Haylett-109|Emma Elizabeth (Haylett) Knights]], parents of [[Knights-713|Henry James Haylett Knights]], only 18 years old when drowned. :[[Smith-261962|Agnes Hannah (Smith) Brown]] aged 40, widow of [[Brown-134216|William Frederick Brown]]. They had three children who did not qualify for assistance but seven others who did. Ethel May (13), William Edward (10), Solomon (9), George Henry (5), Robert Charles (4), Elsie Beatrice (2) and Dennis George (11 months). [[Wright-52514|Charlotte (Wright) Brown]], mother of [[Brown-134216|William Frederick Brown]]. :[[Cutting-1100|Alice Mary (Cutting) Brown]] aged 31, widow of [[Brown-134899|Charles John Brown]]. Their children were Alice May (10), Charles John (8), Alexander (6) and Edward Metheun (2). :[[Brown-135065|Elizabeth (Brown) Smith]] aged 39, widow of [[Smith-263261|John William Smith]]. Their children were Emily Elizabeth (21), Louisa Elizabeth (19), Jack John William (17), Ellen Mary (15), Charles Thomas (13), Philip Henry (8), Harriet Charlotte (6), George Henry (3) and Ernest James (1). :[[Haylett-112|Sarah Ann (Haylett) George]] aged 50, widow of [[George-11959|Charles Bonney George]].

A brief glimpse of social conditions of the time comes from letters received by the committee from Orphanages and other Institutions throughout the country willing to receive children and from private individuals enquiring about children suitable for domestic service. All these requests were turned down. By December the Fund stood at £9,912 and the following January the widow's allowance was increased to 15/- (75p). Each widower and dependant also received a £4 payment (children £2) towards the costs of mourning. The body of [[George-11959|Charles Bonney George]] had been washed out to sea after the disaster and it was some time later when it was recovered. The fund paid £5 for the recovery of the body. On the 21 December 1901 the fund had reached £7,420 '''Newspaper Report''': "Yarmouth Independent"

Re: Caister Disaster Relif Fund
''Yarmouth Independent'' Saturday 21 December 1901 on Page 8 ===19 December 1901 - Beauchamp Inquiry === On Thursday the 19 December 1901 the Southern Reporter reported:- ::The Board of Trade inquiry into the 'Beauchamp' lifeboat disaster was on Thursday concluded by Captain G. Richardson at Yarmouth. It will be remembered that the 'Beauchamp', stationed at Caister, met with disaster while attempting to save life during the great storm of November 14th, and nine of her crew were drowned. Mr Cunningham Graham, on behalf of the Lifeboat Institution, said the Caister station was in the proud position of holding the record for life-saving in Great Britain and Ireland, having rescued more lives than any other single-handed. The Caister men had saved crews from vessels of almost all nationalities. The men drowned were a loss to the whole seafaring world. Without any exaggeration, he might say England, had lost in this disaster the greater part of the finest lifeboat crew the world had ever seen. At a meeting on Thursday of the Committee of Management of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, the gold medal of the Institution, copy the vote inscribed on vellum and framed, and the sum of twenty five guineas, were awarded to [[Haylett-100|James Sheales 'Jimmy' Haylett]], who was for many years assistant coxswain of the Caister lifeboat, in recognition of his great gallantry on the occasion of the fatal accident to the lifeboat 'Beauchamp', when nine of her crew, amongst whom were two of his sons and a grandson, unfortunately lost their lives. Although seventy-eight years of age, Haylett remained on the beach for twelve hours, wet through and without food, and was mainly through his instrumentality that the three survivors of the boat's crew were rescued, he wading into the water and assisting to get them ashore in a most exhausted condition. This was regarded as the veteran's crowning act of half century's life-saving in connection with the Institution's lifeboats, resulting in the saving of hundreds of lives. The thanks of the Institution, inscribed on vellum, and five guineas, were also accorded to [[Haylett-107|Frederick Henry Haylett]], who assisted on the occasion, and displayed great activity and courage. The valuable co-operation afforded by Captain A. F. Clowes and Dr Case, honorary secretaries of the Great Yarmouth and Caister branches, was also specially recognised. The Institution contributed the sum of £2,000 towards the fund raised locally for the relief of the widows and other dependent relatives of the men "who lost their lives, besides defraying the cost of the funerals, and compensating the survivors of the disaster.

Re: James Henry Haylett .
'' Southern Reporter:'' 19 December 1901 ===1902 Family Story=== About a year after the passing of her husband [[Smith-263261|John William Smith]], [[Brown-135065|Elizabeth]] was presented with a "Mourning Brooch" by her family, it is made of Black Jade, Gold & Pearls and contains a small lock of her husbands John's hair. It is inscribed with the words "In Memory Of" on the front (nothing on the back). [[Brown-135065|Elizabeth]] used to wear it in the neck of her blouses - under her chin. It has been passed down through the generations and is now with Margaret Luckett-Gray (Great Granddaughter of [[Smith-263261|John William Smith]] and [[Brown-135065|Elizabeth (Brown) Smith]]). {{Image|file=Caister_lifeboat_Disaster_1901-26.jpg |size=m |caption=Elizabeth (Brown) Smith - Mourning Brooch - 1902 }} Margaret confirmed it will continue to be passed down in the family via the maternal girls. I am so pleased that I have been given the honour of sharing this story. ===1902 Permanent Memorial=== Early in 1902 the provision of a permanent memorial was discussed and designs and estimates were obtained from a number of stone masons around the country. The final decision was for a design submitted by the London firm of J. Whitehead & Son Ltd, in Sicilian marble with 567 letters of inscription, at a total cost of £274 3s 6d including the site preparation and erection in Caister cemetery. The well-known Great Yarmouth artist Stephen John Bachelor was commissioned to produce a drawing of the lifeboat Beauchamp for the stonemasons and for this he was paid £3 13s. The committee decided to give £100 from the fund towards the cost of a stained glass window in the church, the total cost of which was estimated at £200. In October 1902 the committee approved the payment of a bill for £2 2s received from Mr Shalders, landlord of the Kings Arms public house in respect of bottles of brandy and rum supplied to the three survivors of the disaster on the prescription of the local doctor Dr Case. ===1902 Memorial Window=== On Friday 29 August 1902 at the Holy Trinity Church, Caister-on-Sea, Norfolk, England, United Kingdom a memorial window to the members of the Caister lifeboat Beauchamp who perished in the gale of November 14th 1901 was unveiled Sir. H. W. Lucy, well-known in the journalistic world, and who has generously presented Caister with a new lifeboat, to be named the Nancy Lucy. The window, which is placed the east end of the church, illustrates the text, :"Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” The design and execution were undertaken by a young english artist, Mr. Paul Woodruff of West Kensington. At the top of the window you can see the arms of the See of Norwich, and also of St. Edmund, to which saint Caister Church is dedicated. Prominence is also given to St. Nicholas, the patron saint of fishermen The central subject depicts Zebedee in ship, with bis two sons, Jame and John and Simon, Peter and Andrew, responding to the call of Christ, who stands on the shore. At the base is the inscription :"The glory of God, end in memory of nine brave men November 14th 1901” The total cost of which £300, £180 having already been raised Mr. F. Terry, who was present to represent the Stock Exchange, from the members of which institution be collected £600 for the Relief Fund, generously promised that he would undertake wipeout the remaining deficit on the window fund. £100 was contributed to the memorial window from the disaster fund.'''Newspaper Report''': "Yarmouth Independent"

Re: Caister Disaster Fund
''Yarmouth Independent'' Saturday 12 December 1908 on Page 7 ===1903=== The age limit for female children eligible to receive assistance was raised to 17 years and more investments were made, this time with the Yarmouth School Board at 3% interest. By June 1903 the memorial had been erected in the cemetery and Sir Edward Burckbeck, president of the RNLI was asked to unveil it in June of that year. The committee paid all incidental expenses occurred such as policing and temporary crowd barriers. A temporary fence of barbed wire was put around the memorial but this was replaced a few months later by iron railings, again supplied by Whitehead & Son, at a cost of £56. ===1908=== No further meetings of the committee were held for the next five years, the weekly payments being distributed by the Rector of Caister, the Rev. Duthie. In 1908 it was necessary to appoint new committee members and trustees and some of the investments were cashed in to meet forthcoming payments. In 1909 the widow's allowance was increased to £11 per week and the children's allowance to 5/- (25p). In 1911 the coxswain of the Caister lifeboat asked the committee to provide £200 from the fund towards the cost of a new motor lifeboat for life and salvage work. This was however considered outside the scope of the fund and the request turned down. (The first motor lifeboat did not arrive at the station until 1939) A statement of accounts was produced covering the period November 1901 to 6 October 1908.

Re: Caister Disaster Relif Fund Statement of Accounts
''Yarmouth Independent'' Saturday 19 December 1908 on Page 6 ===1915=== By 1915 the fund had reduced to £6,367. All allowances were increased by 2/6 (12p) per week and the following year the allowances to the six remaining widows were increased a further 2/6 per week for the duration of the war. By the end of 1917 all the children were off the fund, which now stood at £4,420. A Christmas allowance of £1 had been paid for some years and this was continued. In 1919 the total weekly allowance being paid out by the fund was £9 5s and the individual widows allowance increased to £1 10s. In 1921 the fund had reduced to £2,841 and it was suggested that a collection box be placed beside the memorial. In its first year this box collected £38. The annual income of the fund from its investments was about £125 and outgoings (now a total of seven dependants) totalled £435. All dependants now received an additional £1 at Christmas, the extra money being taken from the collection box income. ===1928=== In 1928 The Norfolk County Council announced proposals to widen the Caister to Ormesby road, a proposal that would necessitate the removal of several graves from the cemetery, including the lifeboat memorial. Alternative burial land was offered to the north of the cemetery. A public meeting was called and the Council Hall was filled with people "seething with indignation" at the proposals and following a very stormy meeting the plans were rejected unanimously. ===1930=== In 1930 it was necessary to reduce the allowances to such a sum as would allow the fund to continue for a further two years.

Only three of the widows were still alive in 1932 and their weekly pensions were taken over by the RNLI but by this time the Old Age Pension had been introduced and the RNLI contribution was reduced by 10 shillings (50p) to allow for the new state income.

Just before Mr Aubrey A Blake purchased the lifeboat from Mr Clowes in July 1902 he asked Sam Gibbs to have a look over her for him in Fishwharf , Great Yarmouth, he was so struck with her price and capacity that unauthorised he bought her for £23. Of this sum Aubrey subsequently was reimbursed £6 through the sale of her yellow metal fittings. ::Triton [LYR 1913,1921 115544 Triton (ex Beauchamp) wd Una sails Jeckells 12 12.75 reg 16tm 37.3 I0.84.0 H.Critten, YH 1892 altered from lifeboat by Sam Gibbs, Norwich, 03 Aubrey A.

Re: Aubrey Blake’s boating Log 1901-1903
''Wherry Albion Archive'' Aubrey Blake’s boating Log 1901-1903 - Page 3 There are some pictures that appear to be the "Triton" based on the shape of the boat etc. but as yet these pictures have not been confirmed as the "Triton". They are therefore a visual representation of what the boat may have looked like at this time.{{Image|file=Caister_lifeboat_Disaster_1901-18.jpg |caption=Possible "Triton" converted to a Norfolk Pleasure Wherry }} Aubrey's boating trips in the "Triton" continue until the last "Boating log Entry" on the 9th May 1920, no further log information is available after this date. At this stage in my research, based on the information I have so far about Mr Ralph W Seago, I believe Aubrey would have sold the "Triton" at some point after May 1920 to Mr Ralph W Seago. ====1920-1938==== '''1938 Beccles & Bungay Magazine''' The following is featured and makes reference to the “Triton”, a houseboat. ::February 12 Death of Mr Ralph W Seago, aged 58. He was the eldest son of the late Mr and Mrs Frank Seago of Lowestoft, and grandson of William Rix Seago of Oulton Hall. Both were solicitors. Mr Seago was for several years formerly an auctioneer at Lowestoft, but he has lived a retired life for the past 10 to 15 years. During the last 18 years he and his wife have lived on the “Triton”, a houseboat, which was formerly a lifeboat, moored at Beccles. At election times he was agent at Beccles for the Conservative party. He is survived by his widow. They had no family. ====1966==== Even in these waters it struck an old vessel and was sunk.

Those present included many present-day lifeboatmen from local stations; Tony Wright MP, Member of Parliament for Yarmouth; David Thompson, the Mayor of Yarmouth, and many local people who wished to pay their respects. A lone piper led the procession through the village, following the route of the 1901 procession, to the church where the original funeral service had taken place. Three jets flew overhead in 'missing man' formation. Mourners then placed a wreath on the memorial statue, built in 1903 close to where the nine men are buried. The church service that followed, conducted by the Bishop of Thetford, the Rt Rev David Atkinson, closely followed the form of the original service, 100 years earlier. After the service had concluded, the procession returned to the lifeboat station, where [[Haylett-100|James Sheales 'Jimmy' Haylett's]] grandaughter, Gladys Brown, unveiled a bust dedicated to the memory of all those who had perished in the service of the lifeboat.

There are no records of the second donation box, so there is only speculation as to how it came about and when it was produced. ::On the 20 March 2016, Andrew Turner's partner came to the shed while Andrew was on duty in the museum, bringing steak and chips in a cast iron skillet and they decided to head onto the dunes to eat, and on the walk up, that's when Andrew spotted the corner of the cast iron protruding from the sand. {{Image|file=Caister_lifeboat_Disaster_1901-23.jpg |align=l |size=m |caption=Second Donation Box - In the Dunes }} {{Image|file=Caister_lifeboat_Disaster_1901-24.jpg |caption=Second Donation Box - Being uncovered }} :As far as we know, nobody got in touch to say anything about the box after the article was published in the Mercury on the 25 March 2016, but from our own people, John Cannell in particular, it is thought this box was positioned outside the old shed - pre the current 'old shed' which was built in 1939, ahead of the first motorised boat coming onto service in 1941. The previous sheds had only ever been used for equipment; as the boats were kept on the beach. It's thought that this old shed was washed away in storms in 1943, and that's how the box came to be lost. Andrew found it behind the current sea wall, which was built after 1953, and the floods ::When Andrew found the box, all of the coin slots had been bunged up; two with wood and one with lead. It could be that this box was installed for the Beauchamp disaster - whereby fund raising was capped at £10k and according to our previous Company Secretary Derek George, a descendant of [[George-11959|Charles "Bonney" George]] who perished on the Beauchamp, it was 'forcibly stopped' when it reached £12k or more. The widows and children of those lost in the Beauchamp were, according to Derek, very well provided for by the income received through those donations. The above story is a personal recollection by Andrew Turner. This second Donation Box is "Unrestored" and is currently located in the Caister Lifeboat Museum. {{Image|file=Caister_lifeboat_Disaster_1901-25.jpg |align=l |size=m |caption=Second Donation Box - Rescued from the Dunes }}{{Image|file=Caister_lifeboat_Disaster_1901-22.jpg |caption=Second Donation Box in the Caister Lifeboat Museum }} ===29 May 2020 - Memorial Listed Grade II=== The memorial to the crew of the 'Beauchamp' Lifeboat unveiled in 1903 is now listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: :'''Architectural interest:''' For the sculptural quality of the memorial, the broken mast, anchor, laurel wreaths and lifebuoy of which act as a visual reminder of the tragic loss of life at sea. :'''Historic interest:''' As an eloquent and moving tribute to the bravery of the crew who perished in 1901, and a poignant reminder of the sacrifice of the local community. :'''Group value:''' For its strong group value with the nearby Church of Holy Trinity (listed at Grade II) which contains a memorial window commemorating the crew of the 'Beauchamp' Lifeboat.

== Biography == ===In honour of the 8 brave men who lost their lives=== On the morning of July 22nd, a schooner, apparently on the Scroby Sands and in need of assistance, was sighted by the Caistor beachmen, and a crew of fifteen men at once went off in the yawl Zephyr to give her help. When 400 yards south of the Cockle Lightship the yawl struck on an old wreck, and notwith standing all the efforts of the crew to lighten her, rapidly sank. The men, thrown into the sea, endeavoured to save themselves by laying hold of spars and oars; but of the fifteen men who started from Caistor eight were drowned, the remaining seven being picked up by a Yarmouth shrimp boat, called The Brothers, and commanded by Emanuel Liffen. Six of the deceased were married, and have left families. By their deaths thirty children have been left fatherless. The names of those drowned are:- :John Burton (Aged 62), single :George Hodge (Aged 43), leaving widow and ten children :[[King-49760|James George Green King]] (Aged 42), widow and nine children :Joseph Sutton (Aged 32), widow and five children :James Joseph Haylett (Aged 43), widow and five children :[[Haylett-107|Frederick Henry Haylett]] (Aged 27), widow and one child :John Riches (Aged 44), widow and three children :William Knowles (Aged 66), widower The widow of George Hodge is now near her confinement. The village of Caistor, where the disaster occurred, is two miles from Great Yarmouth, and all the men who were drowned were lifeboat men, most of whom had done signal service in the rescue of crews of vessels stranded on the sands in the neighbourhood. An inquest was held at Caistor in the evening by the county coroner, on the body of John Burton, one of the eight men drowned by the sinking of the Zephyr, his was the only body recovered. John George, who swam out from the sinking yawl to the shrimp boat, and was instrumental in saving the other six men who were rescued, deposed that all the crew knew of the existence of the sunken wreck, but thought they were clear of it. The coxswain shouted, Look out for the sunken mast," and a moment afterwards they were upon it. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that death was the result of accident, and highly complimented George on his courage and bravery. Haylett, the coxswain, supported himself on two oars before drifting close by the foremast on which were his son Aaron, William Knowles and James Joseph Haylett. They kept afloat for a time, but the mast kept rolling over in the swell. Aaron moved to his father’s oars but William and James Joseph were drowned. John George, another of the crew, swam towards the shore and came across a shrimper ‘The Brothers’ of Yarmouth which led the search for the other beachmen. First to be picked up was Robert Plummer on a grating, then one after the other [[Haylett-105|Aaron Walter Haylett]], [[Haylett-111|Isaiah Sheals Haylett]], George Haylett, Harry Russell, and lastly [[Haylett-101|James Henry Haylett]] still on the foremast with an oar under one arm and a sett under the other.

[[Category: Ukraine, History]] [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Ukraine Ukraine] "The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the No. 4 reactor in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, near the city of Pripyat in the north of the Ukrainian SSR in the Soviet Union.[1][2] It is the worst nuclear disaster in history both in cost and casualties.[3] It is one of only two nuclear energy accidents rated at seven—the maximum severity—on the International Nuclear Event Scale." "The core melted down and two or more explosions ruptured the reactor core and destroyed the reactor building. This was immediately followed by an open-air reactor core fire. It released considerable airborne radioactive contamination for about nine days that precipitated onto parts of the USSR and Western Europe, before finally ending on 4 May 1986.[7][8] Some 70% of fallout landed in Belarus, 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) away.[9] The fire released about the same amount of contamination as the initial explosion.[4] As a result of rising ambient radiation levels off-site...." :The reactor explosion killed two engineers and severely burned two more. A massive emergency operation to put out the fire, stabilize the reactor, and clean up the ejected nuclear core began. :During the immediate emergency response 134 station staff and firemen were hospitalized with acute radiation syndrome due to absorbing high doses of ionizing radiation. :Of these 134 people, 28 died in the days to months afterward and approximately 14 suspected radiation-induced cancer deaths followed within the next 10 years.[11][12]" The goal of this project is to ...find Survivors.

There were no survivors to tell the tale of what precisely happened. There were few newspapers established at that time whose history has survived – with the notable exception of the Caledonian Mercury and as time has passed memories and word of mouth failed to keep the incident in our collective consciousness. Entire branches of descendents of the drowned men are completely oblivious to their ancestor’s fate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caledonian_Mercury This profile exists to publish the details which survive the disaster and to create & extend friendships to its descendants and their families. There's a Facebook Group for anyone interested in keeping in touch with people who share our interest in the tragedy: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ == Surnames == The names of those who drowned in the tragedy are (with spelling variations of the day) : Brown, Burn, Burns, Cunningham, Dewar, Duar, Keay, Key, Kay, Ramsay, Ramsey, Runciman, Runsheman, Runseyman and Taylor. ==The Victims (& widows/children/descendants)== The deaths of the 8 men left 6 newly grieving widows, 12 fatherless sons and 18 fatherless daughters. 5 of the children were orphaned, their mother having already predeceased their father. 2 of the fishermen (Henry Burns & James Key) had children born months after the disaster; another was in the process of arguing with the Kirk Session that he was not the father of a daughter born out of wedlock just weeks before the drowning. The local community rallied round to support the families. A charity was formed in the shape of a Widows and Orphans Fund. A Fund Raising Ball was held within weeks to raise funds. All walks of life, understandably, got involved from the local nobility to those who lived and worked amongst the victims. A committee operated for at least 3 years (this is the period covered by surviving records) dispersing weekly agreed amounts to the widows and children. Typically this was 4d per week per child. (4d was 4 'old' pennies –pre-decimal- there were 240 old pennies in a £; so it would take 60 weeks to receive £1). It's estimated that the Fund continued for much longer as the last surviving record makes no reference to winding up and there are sufficient funds to continue. Being primarily a family history site, we hope to reach out to descendents of those who died together in 1765. The core information is extracted from the original records & Minutes written in the years from 1765 to 1768. It’s extremely unlikely that any such attempt to link up descendents has been tried before, as the original records about the disaster are held at the National Archives of Scotland (NAS) in Edinburgh. A researcher would have to actively seek out the papers, rather than stumble across them by chance. In our family’s case, interest in the disaster increased in momentum when the NAS papers came under the microscope of Phyllis Runciman, a 6th generation daughter of one of the victims, in 2012. Our ancestor, William Runciman, was the skipper on the doomed boat. Much is known of his descendents and is recorded across many family history software sites. His most recent tree, consisting of around 3,000 ancestors and descendents, can be viewed at this MyHeritage site.

Only four men and their families are mentioned. The other four which may be because the others did not contribute to the Sea Box. There is evidence that William Runciman and the three others were party to another ‘Society’ or ‘Association’, probably named the ‘Fisher Box’ or ‘Fishermen’s Box’, perhaps for skippers or owners. Although this is open to debate - it may have been that they were two very similar societies. This Society paid out an immediate sum to ‘William Runciman’s children’ of £1:10/-. A SeaBox record dated 21 January 1765 is held at Crail Museum. It records 'As the Misfortune of the Seamen having perished this day off this harbour viz Thomas Cunningham, Henry Burns, James Kay and James Duar we order the Boxmaster to defray the expence of their funerals and to give their widows five shllgs each...' The 'order' was also given that the 4 widows receive a weekly pension. Although only 4 seamen apparently contributed to the SeaBox we learn some valuable information from this record. Until this discovery we had wondered whether the seabed was their last resting place. This is the most detailed record to indicate what happened to the men. The other document to reveal something is unfortunately not as precise as we would have wished. The Widows & Childrens Fund recorded minutes show an Intromission with Richard Runciman which starts "To Amount of the Whole Effects Deducing therefrom the expence of the Roup and funerals etc" of £20.6.6d. This can only refer to the funeral of William Runciman (although the use of the plural unfortunately introduces a new question mark - is that an error in the writing of the record or was more than 1 funeral paid from William's estate – or indeed just a very ‘twirly’ letter ‘l’ at the end of funeral, as was the writing style of the time?) There is a second minutebook held in Crail Museum which I had the good fortune to see just as it was being examined. It is so old and in such a condition that there is nothing left to indicate exactly which organisation maintained the record. The best guess of those at the Museum is that it belonged to something called the ‘Fisher Box’ or ‘Fishermen’s Box’ or similar. This is believed it may have been an organisation of the skippers/owners. In it William Runciman is noted at least twice – the first as noted above in relation to the payment to his children on the day after the disaster and once as being one of the parties ‘signing off’ the funds held in the bank by the manager – effectively an early style of audit. So it appears William Runciman is a well established figure respected by his peers. One wonders if the cost of burials excluded a gravestone, which may explain the absence in Beveridge. I find no mention of headstone inscriptions for any of the seamen in Erskine Beveridge's excellent book, ‘Monumental Inscriptions of Crail Churchyard’, which he wrote in the 1890s. This had previously tempted us toward thinking the bodies were never recovered. Knowing now that there were indeed funerals perhaps we can only ask if they were buried in unmarked graves? Whilst perhaps at a stretch this is plausible for the 4 'SeaBox' burials it’s somewhat surprising for William Runciman, given that there was already a family gravestone which only required inscription and there were funds available to do so, as demonstrated in the Fund’s Intromission Statement with Richard Runciman. Frustratingly, the First Sextant Book of the Church - covering the relevant period - is reported to be lost (although books 2,3 and 4 covering later periods survive and are held in the Archives at St Andrew's University) so no evidence is to be gained from that source. However there has come to my attention (as of May 2015) that a second, alternative record exists of the old Crail Churchyard Inscriptions. This is a record written in the 1850s, some 40 years before Beveridge’s project [note - check this statement as there are some references to Beveridge's book, added later?]. A transcription of the Runciman family stone indicates a slightly different wording from Beveridge’s, as in the image attached to this profile. This alternative wording creates as many questions as answers as the transcription indicates an inscription written before William died – or a stone at least unaltered after he died or indeed whether he was/was not buried there. ==The Fundraising Ball== An immediate start was made to raise money to ease the burden on the Widows & Children. The Earls of Leven & Northesk and Sir John Anstruther, Bart. led the Fundraising initiative. The main thrust was a Fundraising Ball held in Crail in the Assembly Hall on Wednesday 20th March. 'We had a very fine lot of company at the Ball, where there were 750 people' according to correspondence after the event. 'We cannot positively say how much the whole will amount to...but we imagine it may be near to £200, besides the Donation by the School of Virtue'. Then they set about recording who was dependent on the Charity. 'We are now to immediately write to Crail to get a particular account of the sexes and ages of the children and to Mr Lindsay ...to take the trouble to make some inspection of them & to let us know what may be necessary'. According to the Financial Report a year later ['State of the money Intromitted'] 'the Managers resolved that the sons of the Fishermen be entitled to the Benefits of the Fund till they are fourteen years of age and the Daughters till they are twelve years of Age. And on this ? they consist of twelve sons and fourteen Daughters besides a sister of one of the Fishermen that was supported by him.' In fact there were two babies born to the widows after the date of the drowning tragedy. The managers of the Fund consisted of Mr John Lindesay of Wormiston, Advocate Commisary of St Andrews James Moncrieffe of Sauchope James Aytone of Kinnaldie, Esqr John Chiene and David Erskine, Shipmasters in Craill Andrew Jamieson, 'one of the present Baillies of Craill'. ==Old Money== Before looking at the list of those who donated to the Fund by supporting the Fundraising Ball it may be helpful to describe what the pre-decimal 'Old Money' system was: £1 consisted of 20 shillings. There were 12 pennies in 1 shilling, so 240 pennies in a £. Tickets were sold at half-a-crown. There were 8 half-crowns (two shillings and sixpence) in a £. The old sterling was styled as follows- No of tickets/ half-crowns 1 was written as 2/6 (two shillings and sixpence, or colloquially '2&6') 2 5/- (five shillings) 3 7/6 (seven shillings and sixpence, '7&6') 4 10/- (ten shillings) 5 12/6 (twelve shillings and sixpence, or '12&6') 6 15/- (fifteen shillings) 7 17/6 (seventeen shillings and sixpence or '17&6') 8 £1 (twenty shillings) A guinea was an old coin in circulation worth 21 shillings, written as £1:1:- or, of course, 21/-. Prices of expensive items and at markets were often priced in guineas rather than £s. This is why you see some donations below listed as £1:1- although it didn't actually equate to the exact price of tickets. ==Tickets for the Ball== In fact funds were raised in one of three ways - by cash donated at various points - for example, a bookseller's shop in Edinburgh gets an honourable mention as a point for receiving donations by ordering tickets for the Fundraising Ball at 2/6d each by contributing 6d on the evening of the Ball (according to the Caledonian Mercury of 2 March 1765, 'every Gentleman was to contribute 6d extraordinary to defray the costs of the Ball.') We don't know who actually ended up attending and therefore contributing to the sixpence extraordinary collection by name (but obviously they had bought Ball tickets) and we do have an interesting list of those benefactors who were prepared to pay a half-crown (2/6d) per head for a ticket. This list was provided to the managers of the Fund to vouch for the cash raised which they filed with their other Minutes and Records: Donor (No. of Tickets) Amount From first page: Mrs Mill of Millfield (2) 5/-, Mrs Menzies (2) 5/-, Mrs Murray of Balmana (4) 10/-, Mrs Shaw (5) 12/6, Lady Aves, (0) 5/- Mrs Dempster of Dunuchen(?)

The programme is shown in the attached Image (To be attached). Two photographers recorded the day’s events, one for still photography and one with video-recording. There is a link to the video here. For best clarity (clear focus on programme & other print items) you are recommended to select the icon at bottom right of screen, choosing the highest level of HD : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VP23L4hsFFA&feature=youtu.be A generously supported fund-raising activity by descendants and two local organisations - Helen Main Charitable Trust and Fife Family History Society - raised sufficient to provide a full programme to pay tribute to this previously little-known Disaster. Almost 70 descendants of the victims attended, starting in the Golf Hotel in Crail. A small display of copies of the research on Crail Fishing Tragedy records were on view. The Golf was a poignant choice since it was established in 1721 and it’s old ‘pub’ bar always been frequented by the fishing fraternity. It’s very likely that the men who died in the Disaster assembled there regularly after coming back from fishing, as they do to this day. Descendants had travelled from Australia, Canada, Tobago and France as well as from within the UK. The wreath was thrown into water outside the harbour to musical accompaniment provided by young local bagpiper Ellie Clayton. After the wreath ceremony an inscribed public bench was gifted by the descendants to the local community in tribute to the fundraising efforts of their predecessors 250 years previously. This is sited in the leeway of the harbour wall looking on to the harbour and broad sweep of houses. The oldest descendant, Gordon Kerr, threw the wreath into the water and the 4 youngest descendants (sisters Isobel & Grace Tod and sisters Josephine & Elise Werner) untied a corner each of the covering drape over the bench to reveal the ribbon for cutting. Chairman of the Community Council, Jack Jarvis, cut the ribbon. For information, an unconnected Harbour Working Group is planning a project for Crail to improve the whole harbour area. Within this project it is hoped the Harbour Master’s Cottage can be refurbished and that a commemoration, possibly a sculpture, may be commissioned and erected in memory of all the local fishermen – including those of the 1765 Tragedy - who have lost their lives. The project is in its early stages of planning, making our activity all the more relevant in this major milestone year. We are assured that our gift will sit comfortably within this ‘bigger picture’ when it becomes reality. Later at the Scottish Fisheries Museum http://www.scotfishmuseum.org/. the Dedication Service was conducted by Peter Donald, superintendant of the Fishermen’s Mission with contributions from Anne MacIver (a descendant of Henry Burns) who read the Fisherman’s Psalm, Bill Runciman (a descendant of William of Crail) reading ‘Those Who Go Down to the Sea’, a poem published by his late father, and Douglas Beddie (a descendant of ‘grandfather’ Richard Runciman who looked after the 3 youngest orphans following the Disaster) who read out the names of the 8 drowned victims. Afterwards the Runciman family invited others to join them in paying their respects at William’s family gravestone and have first sight of the newly laid Memorial Tablet. Prior to their action, and as part of the Commemoration, the 1750s stone had been in danger of falling over and being lost. A mason’s professional advice was that in attempting to refurbish the stone there would be a high risk of crumbling and causing irreparable damage to the original. We were advised that it was better to leave the stone in its existing condition, straighten it again to an upright position and secure the base. We followed this professional recommendation that laying an inscribed Tablet at its base was a better and safer solution. The group enjoyed a guided tour round Crail Church http//www.crailchurch.co.uk and Crail Museum & Heritage Centre http//www.crailmuseum.co.uk before retiring to the Golf Hotel http//www.thegolfhotelcrail.com for chat and analysis of the day’s events over drinks & meal. Over the course of the day long-lost relatives became re-acquainted and brand-new relations found where the last shared ancestor was born in the early 1700s. An undoubted success! Sunday- Ironically, given the nature of our Commemoration, despite blue skies and some sunshine the planned group sailing to Isle of May was cancelled due to choppy seas. Monday- A group toured the 'Runciman cradle' of East Lothian locations- Haddington, Whitekirk, North Berwick & Dirleton. Whitekirk is where William Runciman was baptised and North Berwick is where his orphans went to live with their grandfather. ==Funding for the Commemoration== A successful level of funding was received enabling us to cover all our costs with some late additional thoughts to further enhance our day. In addition to descendants and wider family we have received grants from the local Helen Main Charitable Trust and Fife Family History Society http://www.fifefhs.org/. What funding is left was used to support further research into the Disaster and perhaps also encourage DNA/wider research to further family knowledge of the Disaster victims. ==Can you help?== We continue to trace as many living descendants of all victims as we can. This is a Family Researchers Dream. In addition to a starting point from each victim's WikiTree Profile there is an individual tree on My Heritage (access is free) for each person which shows the present status of discovery of their descendants. You are very welcome to add to this research if this is an area which interests you. Descendant or not, would you care to 'Adopt a Family' and research them down to the present day descendants? Links to the sites are : Website Links to Family Trees of Victims (for 7 of the 8 victims as no tree for John Ramsay, a single man) http://www.myheritage.com/site-family-tree-269342881/thomas-cunningham http://www.myheritage.com/site-family-tree-269352851/james-kay http://www.myheritage.com/site-family-tree-269353581/andrew-taylor http://www.myheritage.com/site-269350381/henry-burns http://www.myheritage.com/site-family-tree-269349361/john-brown http://www.myheritage.com/site-family-tree-269351821/james-dewar There's also our own Runciman family site.

If you are interested in helping with the Fire Disasters Team and not a member of the [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Worldwide_Disasters Worldwide Disasters Project], please read the Project Page to learn more about the project and how to join us. == Welcome to the Fire Disasters Team! == ;Team Leader - TBC ;Team Members: == Goal == N.B. Industrial Fires and Explosions are looked after by the Industrial Disasters Team. Wildfires are cared for by the Natural Disasters Team. Fires on board transport are governed by the Transportation Disasters Team This Team covers any Disaster that involves a structural fire. These include building fires as well as fires affecting other structures. This team is divided into groups governed under their various countries. The goal of the Team is to raise the standards of related Free Space pages and profiles, and to devise topics to work on which will increase the presence of profiles on WikiTree for victims and those involved. We also provide resources and assistance to those working on Disaster related profiles. ==What we do== *We are responsible for improving the free space pages and profiles of people involved in structural fires. This includes sourcing, connecting, merging duplicates, correcting database errors, and writing biographies. We clean up Disaster related profiles and untangle family errors. *We create profiles for those who lost their lives and others involved in the disasters and connect them to our global tree. *We oversee related categories to ensure that our information is up to date and is consistent with the other Disaster Teams. This includes the revision of our categories, adding correct categories and deleting incorrect or unnecessary categories as needed. It also includes monitoring to ensure that all profiles are placed into the most accurate sub-category possible and not into any of the parent categories. *We maintain a list of resources, by adding new information, checking hyperlinks are not broken and removing information that is no longer relevant. *We create free space pages related disasters that involve fires, making them relevant to genealogy, by naming significant people involved, and providing sources for the information provided. *When we can, we help and advise others who are working on disaster related profiles. This includes answering questions asked on G2G. == Structural Fires by Country == :[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:France,_Fires France Fires] :[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:New_Zealand,_Fires New Zealand Fires] :[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:United_States,_Fires United States Fires] See Category: [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Structure_Fires Structure Fires]

'''GPS Coordinates:''' Lat: -32.923138, Long: 151.747055 ---- == Summary == A hundred men were working in the Hamilton Pit at the Glebe Mine, Merewether, on the morning of 22nd June 1889 when the roof began 'working' and collapsed in several places. Many of the men fled for their lives but their lamps went out and they were plunged into darkness. Rocks and coal continued to fall and blocked their escape. Eleven men lost their lives in the disaster, some were caught under fallen coal unable to be moved by workmates and four died of starvation while trapped in a small section of the mine.

[[Category:HMAS Voyager Disaster, 10 Feb 1964]] [[Category:Died in Military Service, Australia]] [[Category:HMAS Voyager (1957)]] [[Category:Australia, Needs Profiles Created]] == Biography == On the night of Monday 10 February 1964, HMAS Melbourne (II) was engaged in night flying exercises off the New South Wales coast. Voyager (II)’s role was that of plane guard, involving the rescue, if necessary, of aircrew personnel from the sea. Since both ships had just completed refits, this was the first time they had been involved in close quarters maneuvering for almost six months. Both the carrier and destroyer were ‘darkened’ with only navigational/operational lighting in use. At approximately 20:56, some twenty miles south east of Jervis Bay, the two ships were in collision. Melbourne (II) struck Voyager (II) at the aft end of her bridge, heeling her over to an angle of about 50 degrees. A flash appeared to come from Voyager (II)’s ‘A’ Boiler, and she emitted high pressure steam and black smoke. Debris, including the revolution table from Voyager (II)’s bridge, and a pair of binoculars, was thrown onto Melbourne (II)’s flight deck. The impact pushed Voyager (II) bodily through the water for a few seconds, and then she broke in two. Her forward section passed down Melbourne (II)’s port side, and the stern section down the starboard side. The forward section sank soon afterwards and the after section about three hours later. The disaster resulted in the loss of 82 lives (14 officers, including the Commanding Officer, 67 sailors and one civilian dockyard employee). There were 232 survivors. Melbourne (II) was damaged but sustained no casualties. The wreck of HMAS Voyager (II) lies some 600 fathoms deep, twenty nautical miles off Cape Perpendicular on a bearing of 120 degrees.Royal Australian Navy 2022, HMAS Voyager (II), Navy.gov.au, viewed 3 April 2022, . === Casualties === '''Categories to add to profiles of casualties when they are created'''

The troopship ''H.M.S. Birkenhead'' sailed from Queenstown, Ireland on 7th January 1852 with 631 persons onboard including a crew of 132, the remainder being soldiers with their wives and families. The ship reached Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope on 23 February where some of the passengers were transferred ashore. Birkenhead sailed around 6pm on the 25th February heading eastward having been ordered to land troops at Algoa Bay and Buffalo River. At approx. two o'clock on the morning of the 26th February, less than 3 miles from land, Birkenhead struck a submerged rock off Danger Point. Within 20 minutes the ship had broken up and mostly sunk with a great loss of life. On board were detachments of the 12th Lancers, 2nd, 6th, 12th, 43rd, 45th and 60th Rifles, and the 73rd, 74th and 91st Regiments. There was also a small number of civilians, women and children. Various sources state that there were approx. 680 troopers, sailors and passengers on board (including a small number of women, children and civilians), as well as between 9 and 30 horses. The death toll was very high with approximately 455 lost and 198 surviving; and only 5 horses swam ashore. Thomas Coffin was at the wheel when the ship struck the hidden rock - a few feet left or right would have saved the ship. Dozens of soldiers sleeping in the lower deck near the bow would have died quickly on impact. Many of the soldiers could not swim including Colonel Seton, the officer in command. Only 184 persons were saved by the lifeboats but a dozen or so avoided the sharks and the elements to make it to safety. There wasn't enough lifeboats for all the people - there were just 3 boats.. The women and children were loaded into the first with sailors to manage it. The two other boats had men in them. The ship's captain ordered everyone else to jump into the water and swim to the lifeboats. However, two officers ordered the men to stand fast in case they swamped the lifeboats, which they did, as the ship quickly sank. All the women and children survived but most who remained on board ship drowned, died from the effects of the elements, or were taken by sharks. A memorial service to commemorate the survivors and the men who lost their lives in the Birkenhead disaster is held on 25 and 26 February in various places. In Gansbaai, the 2-day event also includes a wreath-laying ceremony on Birkenhead Rock, followed by a small remembrance ceremony at sea. '''Estimates of the number of people who died/survived varies:''' *193 persons survived: ** 7 women and 13 children, all of whom survived; ** 2 other civilians survived (and 1 other died); ** 6 marines. * 438 persons died: ** 9 army officers; ** 357 soldiers; ** naval crew: 7 officers and 74 sailors; ** surgeons: 1 naval, 2 military died (and 1 other survived). === Military Contingent === ===== 2nd Foot (The Queen's Royal West Surrey Regiment) ===== :: 1 Ensign (Boylan), :: 1 Sergeant, :: 50 Men. ===== 6th Foot (Royal Warwickshire Regiment) ===== :: 1 Ensign (Lawrence Metford), :: 1 Sergeant, :: 60 Men. ===== 12th Lancers (9th/12th Royal Lancers) ===== * [http://britishcavalryregiments.com/32-12L/12L.html 12th (Royal) Lancers] :: 2 Cornets (Bond, Holt), :: 1 Sergeant, :: 5 Men. ===== 12th Foot (Suffolk Regiment) ===== :: 1 Captain (Blake), :: 1 Sergeant, :: 14 Men. ===== 43rd Light Infantry (1st Battalion Oxford; 1 Lieutenant, Buckinghamshire Light Infantry) ===== :: 1 Lieutenant (Girardot), :: 1 Sergeant, :: 40 Men. ===== 45th Foot (1st Battalion Nottinghamshire; 1 Warrant Officer, Derby Regiment) ===== :: 1 Warrant Officer, :: 1 Sergeant, :: 15 Men. ===== 60th Foot (King's Royal Rifle Corps) ===== :: 1 Corporal :: 39 Men. ===== 73rd Foot (2nd Battalion Royal Highland Regiment) ===== :: 1 Lieutenants (Robinson, Booth), :: 1 Ensign (Lucas), :: 1 Sergeant, :: 70 Men. ===== 74th Foot (2nd Battalion Highland Light Infantry) ===== :: 1 Lieutenant-Colonel (Seton), :: 1 Ensign (Russell), :: 1 Warrant Officer, :: 60 Men. ===== 91st Foot (1st Battalion Argyll & Sutherland; 1 Captain, Highlanders) ===== :: 1 Captain (Wright), :: 1 Sergeant, :: 1 Corporal, :: 59 Men. ---- === Abbreviations in Table below (Army Units / Ship code etc.) === * Note: 'Died' and 'Survived' counts are from the next (my) table. {| class="wikitable" border="1" style="text-align: center;" cellpadding=6 |+ ! scope="col" | Code ! scope="col" | Group ! scope="col" | Died ! scope="col" | Survived ! scope="col" | Total ! scope="col" | Origin |- | Birk || HMS Birkenhead || 13 || 53 || 66 |- | Civ || Civilian || 1 || 2 || 3 |- | Fam|| Wives, (children) || 0 || 9 (1) || 9 (1) |- | Mrns || Marines || 0 || 6 || 6 |- | Surg || Surgeon || 2 || 1 || 3 |- | 2nd || 2nd Regiment of Foot (Rifles) || 36 || 18 || 54 |- | 6th || 6th Regiment of Foot (Rifles) || 48 || 12 || 60 |- | 12th L || 12th Lancers || 5 || 4 || 9 |- | 12th R || 12th Regiment of Foot (Rifles) || 52 || 15 || 67 |- | 43rd || 43rd Regiment of Foot (Rifles) || 29 || 15 || 44 |- | 45th || 45th Regiment of Foot (Rifles) || 3 || 1 || 4 |- | 60th || 60th Regiment of Foot (Rifles) || 30 || 11 || 41 |- | 73rd || 73rd Regiment of Foot || 54 || 18 || 72 || |- | 74th || 74th Regiment of Foot || 49 || 14 || 63 || Scotland |- | 91st || 91st Regiment of Foot || 47 || 17 || 64 |- | ? || Unknown unit || 0 || 1 || 1 |- | || Total || 370 || 197 || 567 |- |}

[[Category:Disasters Project]] [[Project:Disasters|Disasters Project]] | How to Categorise Disasters We use category information boxes on all category pages relating to disasters. Categories are linked to three branches of the category structure: # Disasters by country # Disasters by type # Country The basic category structure for disasters, using England and a mining disaster as an example, is as follows: * Disasters ** England, Disasters *** Cornwall, Disasters **** Cornwall, Mining Disasters ***** Levant Tin Mine Disaster, Pendeen, Cornwall, 1919 *** England, Mining Disasters **** Cornwall, Mining Disasters ***** Levant Tin Mine Disaster, Pendeen, Cornwall, 1919 ** Mining Disasters *** England, Mining Disasters **** Cornwall, Mining Disasters ***** Levant Tin Mine Disaster, Pendeen, Cornwall, 1919 * England ** England, Disasters *** England, Mining Disasters ... The landing category also links to the place name category: * Pendeen, Cornwall ** Levant Tin Mine Disaster, Pendeen, Cornwall, 1919 '''Please note:''' ONLY the victims themselves will be categorised. Others involved in the disaster, including family members, will not be categorised, although, of course, the narrative of their involvement can be included in their biographies. Space pages relating to disasters will be categorised. Here is a draft of how we see the overall disasters category struture. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Disaters_Category_Organisation

Military Disasters

{{Image|file=photos-494.png |align=c |size=380 |caption= }} Military Disasters are disasters that involve people who were serving in the military at the time of the event. They are accidents that are not combat related. Many of us have military ancestors or family members who died in combat or were killed by disease. But the nature of military work has also put service members at great risk of harm from accidents such as plane crashes or accidental explosions. The Military Disasters project, a sub-project of the [[Project:Military and War|Military and War Project]], exists to document the individuals who were seriously injured or lost their lives in Military Disasters, and connect them to our Global Family Tree. Some of the most common types of Military Disasters are listed below. For other types of disasters, including civilian accidents and natural disasters, visit the [[Space:Disasters|Worldwide Disasters page]].

Military Ship Disasters

Accidents at sea have caused death and injury to many service members, especially before troop transport by air was possible. The following disasters involved the sinking of ships that resulted in great loss of life to military passengers and crew. 1863 [[:Category:1863_HMS_Orpheus_Shipwreck%2C_Whatipu%2C_Auckland|The HMS Orpheus Shipwreck]] 1898 [[Space:USS_Maine_Disaster|The USS Maine Disaster]] 1865 The Sultana Disaster 1921 [[Space:USS_Conestoga_%28AT-54%29 | U.S.S. Conestoga (AT-54)]]

Military Aircraft Disasters

Aircraft disasters are tragically common even in the present day. Military airplane and helicopter pilots are at risk of serious injury or death even in non-combat exercises. The following disasters involved the crashing of aircraft that resulted in serious injury or loss of life to military pilots, passengers or air crew. 1985 [[:Category: Arrow Air Flight 1285|Arrow Air Flight 1285]] Crash 1982 Thunderbirds Indian Springs Diamond Crash 1966 [[Space:US_Navy_Patrol_Squadron_19_%28PV-19%29_P-3A_Michigan_Crash|US Navy Patrol Squadron 19 (PV-19) P-3A Michigan Crash]] 1940 Canberra Air Disaster

Military Explosion Disasters

Military personnel are frequently in contact with dangerous destructive materials, and this can lead to accidents far away from the field of combat. The following disasters involved accidental explosions that resulted in numerous casualties. [[Space:Port_Chicago_Disaster,_17_Jul_1944|1944 Port Chicago Disaster]] 1917 Halifax Explosion 1980 [[Space:Titan_II_Missile_Explosion_1980_Damascus_Arkansas|Damascus, Arkansas Titan II Missile Explosion]]

Mudslides

A large amount of rock, earth slide down a steep slope is known as a landslide. This is a result of the natural stability of the slope. :'''Triggers''' - heavy rains, droughts, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or areas where a severe fire has destroyed the natural vegetation holding the dirt and rock in place. {{Image|file=Worldwide_Disasters_Project_Images-47.jpg |align=c |size=370 |caption=California }} Debris of mudflows may be a fast moving landslide moving in channels. Cause - the rains collect in the ground, and cause a surge of water-soaked earth, debris. Mudslides usually begin on steep slopes and can be triggered by natural disasters. :Areas where wildfires or construction have destroyed vegetation on slopes are at high-risk landslides during and after heavy rains. Landslides and mudslides result in 25 to 50 deaths each year :Rapidly moving water and debris that can lead to trauma. :Electrical, water, gas and sewage lines that can result in injury or illness. :Disrupted roadways and railways that can endanger motorists and disrupt transport and access to health care.

LOSS OF THE ALERT PACKET. (From the Liverpool Advertiser of April 6, 1823.) It is our painful duty to record the loss of one of the sailing packets of this port, by the sinking of which, while on her homeward voyage from Dublin, it is sup-posed (according to the general reports of the few survivors) upwards of one hundred of our fellow creatures, men, women, and children, have suddenly perished. The Alert sailed from Dublin on Tuesday night, about half-past eight, and on Wednesday morning made the coast of Wales. The wind had been general-ly favourable, but about ten o'clock, a.m. the Captain finding the breeze abating, and the vessel driving to-wards the West Mouse rock, sent their boat a-head, in full expectation of clearing it by towing. There was, just before, a fine light breeze, which, had it con-tinued (and of which there was every appearance) the vessel would easily have avoided the rock. The tide, however, at this unfortunate juncture, became so power-ful as to render abortive the efforts of the rowers in the boat, and soon drifted the vessel upon the rock, which she struck, though not with very great violence. But it was soon discovered that the shock caused the vessel to leak considerably, and the pumps were im-mediately set to work. The water, in defiance of every exertion, continued to gain upon them, and in a few minutes reached the cabin floor. All who could, now lent their endeavours to bale out with buckets. The leak continued to increase rapidly, and it was soon perceived that all efforts to keep the vessel were of no avail. She became water-logged, and there be-ing no wind, it was impossible to throw her on the shore, which was perhaps a mile and a half distant. In this desperate situation, several individuals leaped into the sea, to reach the boat which had been towing a-head and which contained the greater part of the crew. Those in the boat picked up as many as she could con-tain, numbering in all 17, amongst whom is the Cap- tain, who, by the exertion of the mate (who was be-fore in the boat) was saved. The boat was but twelve feet long, and with this load, being nearly level with the water's edge, was with difficulty, though in a com-paratively smooth sea, rowed to the shore. Mean-time terror and despair seized the unfortunate beings left on board the vessel. But a veil, never to be pene-trated, is drawn over the terrific scene that. closed their earthly career. Those saved in the boat can but give a confused and imperfect relation of the horrors of those awful minutes which preceded their escape. One only of the cabin passengers was saved, a re-spectable tradesman of Liverpool. He thinks there were about one hundred persons on board ; the Captain supposes not more than seventy, exclusive of those saved. In either account we find a mournful reckoning ; and as, with the exception of those in the cabin, the passengers were chiefly persons in the humbler walks of life, the truth it will be impossible to ascertain. The gentleman saved, to whom we have alluded, states that when the boat pulled towards the shore, they left those on the vessel, amongst whom were three ladies, many other females, and some children, weeping and praying. On reaching shore (after rowing three quarters of an hour) a Welchman who observed the disaster from a hill, informed them that the vessel had dis-appeared. The boat returned to the fatal spot im-mediately, and we, learn, saved two more individuals (men) who had contrived to keep afloat. The rest, to the number of one hundred to one hundred and thirty (for reports are various), had sunk to rise no more, — We do not consider ourselves warranted in publishing any of the names of those who, it is supposed, on no very certain authority, perished on this melancholy occasion. Little on this point is yet precisely known, and to put forth surmises might but unnecessarily dis-tress the feelings of individuals. So far as we can ascer-tain, the dreadful catastrophe was purely accidental ; and we have reason to believe, that, considering the immediate peril of every one on board from the time the vessel struck, every exertion was made to keep the vessel afloat; and to draw her towards the shore for preservation. The boat in which the survivors escaped, was but twelve feet in length, and was loaded almost to swamping. And here we cannot help regretting, that vessels destined to carry so many passengers, should not be better provided with boats, in case of accidents of this nature, or by fire ; and it is with sin- cerity and respect that we applaud our townsman, Mr. Gladstone, for his valuable exertions relative to the Steam-boat Bill, by which every steam-packet must be provided with a sufficient number of boats, to render effectual aid in the event of a similar catastrophe.

Costa Concordia

The '''Costa Concordia''', a large passenger ship piloted by Captain Francesco Schettino deviated from a planned route going off course at the Isola del Giglio. The ship hit a rock formation on the sea floor and was allowed to drift for an hour, then '''passengers''' contacted the Port Authorities when a ripped hole in the hull caused it to begin to list and then turned and began to sink. '''4,252''' passengers heard the impact. Authorities evacuated frantic passengers for 6 hours. Deaths: Ecological disaster, because the partially submerged wreck was in danger of slipping into much deeper water, with a risk of oil pollution. The Captain was found guilty of manslaughter of 32 passengers by Judge and sentenced to 16 years in prison. Court: 10 years for multiple manslaughter, 5 years for causing shipwreck, 1 year for abandoning passengers, and 1 month for providing false information to port authorities.

On an unusually warm fall evening Tuesday, Nov. 7, 1916, election night the rush-hour ride home was something to endure, stuffy and loud: nearly 70 commuters packed into a rumbling shoebox with seats for 34, the straphangers squeezed by knees and toes on all sides. The crush of riders spilled out onto the closet-sized platforms on both ends, flanking the motorman in front and hanging off the back stairs, as the inbound car crested the hill approaching Fort Point Channel, in the industrial end of South Boston. Many were bound for South Station, and still more planned to transfer at Washington Street, but until then it was an assault on the senses, especially the ears: the clang and rattle of steel wheels atop steel rails atop paving stones; the motorman hollering out the stops ("E Street! . . . . D Street!"), followed by the cry of the brakes; the steady clang of the gong to warn horses, pedestrians, and the occasional automobile, to clear the way; the ka-ching of the fare register mounted overhead. And so they stared blankly or thought of other things supper waiting on the table; a spouse in the hospital; the fate of the Red Sox, fresh off their second straight "World's Series" championship but soon to be sold or strained to talk to co-workers or strangers about the election. The race for the White House was on everyone's mind, with President Woodrow Wilson and Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes battling to the wire amid unrest on the Mexican border and a war raging in Europe. Bookmakers in Boston had given Hughes 10 to 8 odds, but the line was shifting toward the president when the polls closed at 4 p.m. Which is why few inside the streetcar gave much thought to the final screech of the brakes or the thump that came with it. Trolleys were always whining, and sometimes they hit things like a wayward wagon, or a tip-cart stuck in the tracks and kept right on going. Except suddenly there was commotion and muffled cries at both ends. The car had smashed through the warning gates of the open Summer Street drawbridge and was skidding toward the edge. Screeching, sliding, it seemed to slow just in time, pausing at the brink, the front end dangling above the water, the rear wheels holding onto the tracks. The car rocked; it teetered for a second, for two. The lights cut out the trolley pole slipped off the overhead wire but still it wasn't clear to everyone inside what was happening. Then wood splintered, metal popped. The trolley snapped free, plunging forward, abandoning the rear wheels on the tracks. Someone shrieked "My God! We're going over!" and the passengers tumbled, screaming and reaching out for one another as the streetcar fell. Dark green with white trim, Car 393 had pulled out of the P Street barn in South Boston 12 minutes earlier, an extra car added to the schedule so the Boston Elevated Railway Co. could move more commuters at rush hour. Motorman Gerald Walsh and conductor George McKeon were on board, both "spare men," assigned to plug gaps in the schedule. They had not worked together, and neither had worked this specific route before among the 486 miles of trolley track operated by the private company known as the El. Still, both men blue-eyed Irishmen in their 20s lived in the neighborhood and knew the turf. Walsh, one of 10 children, had grown up on a farm outside Skibbereen before setting sail the previous year on the SS St. Louis, enduring nine days in steerage to join a handful of siblings already in Boston. Just five months earlier, he had been hired by the Elevated as a motorman, following the lead of his twin brother. After two early accidents, he was feeling steadier now at the controls. McKeon had been born here, his grandparents on both sides refugees from the Great Famine of the 1840s. He had worked at a dry goods store until getting hired by the Elevated the year before. They were workaday men assigned a workaday car. Its narrow passenger compartment was 25 feet long, not counting small platforms on either end. Inside, cushioned benches ran beneath the rows of windows and advertisements, which beckoned riders to try Perfection Cigarettes ("Just Naturally Good") or Sloan's Liniment ("Kills Pain") and to read Anthony Arnoux's war dispatches in the Boston Journal, one of the city's 10 dailies. The car was 16 years old, designed for electricity and not a retrofitted open-air horsecar from the 1870s, but it was showing its age just the same. To protect the motorman from weather and debris, the open platforms had been enclosed a decade earlier with windows and folding doors. But the car still had a gooseneck handbrake that had to be cranked, not the fast-acting air brakes of the newer trolleys in the fleet. At 5:13, Walsh nosed it down P Street and along a few residential blocks, while McKeon braced for the East First Street factory crowds that would pile on faster than he could collect fares and pull the cord on the overhead register. Small workshops and sprawling factories lined East First, backing out onto the wharves of the Reserved Channel. The biggest was Walworth Manufacturing, the firm that had put the first radiators in the White House and dominated the plumbing-supply business. Two dozen Walworth workers rushed on board, all of them men and nearly all immigrants banging out a living in Boston with their hands, drawn to an industrial city that had doubled in population over the last 30 years. Some of them retained an air of the old country, like 51-year-old Antonio Campagnoni, a 5-foot-3 brass worker with mournful eyes and a handlebar mustache. Others could scarcely picture the villages their families had left behind, like Pasquale Iannessa, a 17-year-old who went by Patsy. With his broad nose and full cheeks, he looked like a shorter Babe Ruth, the young ace of the Red Sox pitching staff. Patsy scrambled on with two of his best friends, brothers Vincenzo and Biagio Macaluso, 18 and 19, clean-shaven and handsome, more American by the year, dressing on the weekend in club collars and straw boaters. They went by Jimmie and Biggi now, sometimes telling people their last name was Ross. The three had lived as kids in the same cold-water tenement on Charter Street in the North End, amid the laundry-draped fire escapes and lovingly tended rooftop gardens, before the Iannessas moved around the corner and the Macalusos to East Boston. Biggi and Jimmie's older brother John Rosario Macaluso by birth was supposed to get on the trolley, too, but he got buttonholed by a friend and was stuck in back of the pack. As 393 rolled on, he called to his brothers, saying he would meet them at home. At the corner where L Street met Summer, the car collected workers from the smoke-belching power plants of the Elevated and the Edison Co., neighboring behemoths that generated electricity for streetcars and streetlights, and from smaller shops like Stetson Coal, Condit Electrical Manufacturing, and J.W. Moore Machine, makers of gauges, jigs, and fixtures. They included Norris Curtis, a 30-year-old Moore machinist looking forward to his upcoming wedding to a Jamaica Plain typist, and Elsie Wood, a 19-year-old Condit stenographer who turned heads as the only woman on the car, with her blond hair and gold bracelet. By then the car was full, every seat, every strap. Walsh crossed the first drawbridge without incident, over the Reserved Channel, where the Army was building a supply base on the far side. There were still 1 miles to go, a straight shot up Summer to Washington, the beating heart of commerce in Boston. Ahead of him lay the rapidly developing South Boston Flats, an expanse of water and marsh that had been filled in since the Civil War with freight yards, factories, and warehouses, all of them with workers waiting to go home. In the distance, a tugboat whistled. That familiar sound two long blasts, two short stirred the men inside the drawtender's house on the Summer Street Bridge, a Tudor cottage that belied the modern mechanisms of the drawbridge itself; instead of lifting up, motorized sections of the bridge retracted at angles to each side, clearing a passage. Down below, the tug William G. Williams waited to tow a barge full of raw sugar up the channel to the big refinery beside South Bay, near the Gillette safety-razor plant. Drawtender Timothy Shea had been working the bridge almost since it built in 1899, thousands of routine draw openings and checkers games punctuated by occasional excitement. He went to the control room and sent his assistants out to the deck, one to each end, to close the gates and hang red kerosene lanterns to warn oncoming traffic. A few hundred yards south, Shea could see the headlamp of a streetcar. Sticking to his schedule, Gerald Walsh was motoring that car at a brisk 10 to 15 miles an hour, McKeon in back doing his best to change dimes and collect nickels, more than 40 people aboard now. They stopped at the C Street viaduct and 20 more pressed on, half from the Boston branch of telephone manufacturer Western Electric and half from the new Fish Pier nearby, a half-million-square-foot marvel with electric icemakers and concrete floors. Amid the cutters and packers, the group included buttoned-up salesmen as well as 20-year-old bookkeeper Lillian Frank, whose struggling parents had given her up to relatives as a girl, and who was busy on weekends now competing in gymnastics and planning dances at the Hebrew Y. Also coming aboard was Thomas Price, a window-washer and handyman popular along the pier. The Kentuckian stood out less for his drawl than for being one of 15,000 black residents in a city of 750,000, part of a wave of migrants settling in the South End. Walsh nudged the controller handle, and the car regained speed 5, 10, 15 miles an hour, it was hard to say; inside, Patsy turned to Biggi and mentioned that they seemed to be going faster than usual. From inside the car, a gentleman offered Frank a seat, but she declined, standing instead at the edge of the rear platform as the fireproof warehouses and mercantile buildings of the wool district passed by on both sides of Summer, the last stretch before the channel. Up front, Walsh peered into the shadows beyond the modest beam of his headlight. Near the intersection with Melcher Street, right before the bridge, a rectangular sign hung on a wire over the road. STOP, it warned, in 2-by-3-inch letters, 20 feet in the air. Walsh didn't seem to notice that, but he spotted a man waiting beside the road and slowed without stopping so the guy could jump on. Walsh nudged the controller handle, and the car regained speed 5, 10, 15 miles an hour, it was hard to say; inside, Patsy turned to Biggi and mentioned that they seemed to be going faster than usual. Suddenly, Walsh spotted a set of metal gates blocking the road 30 feet away. For an instant, he froze, then he grabbed the brake handle with his right hand, yanking so hard it bent. But the car was moving too fast; the wheels locked, skidding along the tracks, the metal white-hot. Walsh was frantically trying to throw the controller into reverse with his left hand when the car crashed through the gates. Just 25 feet remained now before the edge of the draw. Walsh found his voice, crying out, "Jump!" On the sidewalk, across the bridge, on the tugboat below, bystanders turned at the sound of the crash and saw people leaping from both ends of a streetcar as it skidded toward the edge of the draw and teetered over the channel. On the front platform, where the handful of riders around Walsh could see what was coming, everyone leaped to safety, tumbling onto the roadway atop the bridge; Walsh followed, just in time. On the back platform, it was bedlam. Lillian Frank, still standing near the door, felt a sudden shove from behind where her co-worker Nelson McFarlane had been standing and flew into the air. Instinctively, she reached out to grab for the car. Then she smacked the ground, rolling to a stop by the edge of the bridge, where a stranger's hand reached out to hold her back. Some heard shrieks, others chilling silence. A few car-lengths back, Christopher Thompson, a Western Union messenger boy who'd been stealing a ride on the rear fender, dusted himself off in the street. At the squeal of the brakes, he had hopped down thinking the car was stopping and the conductor would catch him hooking a ride. He first looked back, wary of getting flattened by an oncoming horse team or automobile. Now he turned toward the trolley, just in time to watch it plunge. Amid the alarm gongs now ringing in the night, hospital ambulances and fire engines charging to the scene, McFarlane shouted something no one could make out, and collapsed. Thompson ran to the edge. He thought he would see 30 people down below, splashing and calling for help. Instead, he saw just seven or eight, and no sign of the car. With the rising tide halfway in, the drop to the oil-slicked surface was roughly 20 feet, and the water itself 30 feet deep and climbing. From the tugboat, Captain Harry Ross had watched the people writhing and grasping at the air as they fell alongside the car. The heavy trolley appeared to smack a wooden beam partway down and then plummet toward the water, throwing up a splash, sinking with a gurgle that could be heard outside South Station. Ross sounded the bells and shot his tug toward the spot where the trolley went down, calling for his men to toss the rings and grab the lifeboats. They quickly hauled in three passengers, all of them floundering in the chilly water under heavy layers of clothing. Atop the bridge, Shea shouted from the control house, and the two assistants who had closed the gates on each end sprinted down the bridge steps and dropped into a rowboat, helping to pull in three more. Down Summer Street, people who had been walking home in the warm weather ran to help, banging on the doors of the NECCO candy factory, calling for ropes. In the water, Nelson McFarlane, who had pushed Lillian Frank before jumping as the car went over, popped back to the surface. He had just turned 17, an amateur boxer from Dorchester working by day at the Fish Pier. He was swimming toward the South Boston side of the channel when he noticed an older man thrashing, struggling to keep his head up. Grab my leg, McFarlane shouted, and he towed him to the edge. Rescuers hauled them both up, and then McFarlane, hatless and dripping, started to run across the bridge deck. Amid the alarm gongs now ringing in the night, hospital ambulances and fire engines charging to the scene, McFarlane shouted something no one could make out, and collapsed. Inside the pitch-black car, the rush of cold water had shattered some windows and swept in through the doors, climbing quickly to the ceiling as the trolley sank to the muck. The panicked passengers, unable to see, unable to breathe, flailed and clawed; they tugged whatever they could touch, hoping desperately to untangle from the scrum and push or grope their way out. Arthur Smith, 23, a Fish Pier salesman, felt a boot in the eye, then swift kicks to the ribs. Tall and strong, the former Arlington High football player worked his way backward and felt a window pane, then butted the back of his head against it, smashing the glass. He started to swim out and got stuck, overcoat snagging. Wriggling, trying not to panic, ears popping, lungs clenching, Smith felt one arm burst free of his coat, then another. He kicked to the surface, gasped, splashed, and smacked something with his hand, timbers at the base of the draw. Clinging with his fingertips, he cried out. A rope dropped from above. He gripped it with both hands and clamped down with his teeth, determined not to let go until he was firmly on land. Those overcoats so in demand $15 and up at Filene's were leaden anchors, sopping up water. Fred Robertson, a Masonic Lodge master from Reading and a superintendent at the Wireless Specialty Apparatus Co., had gotten lucky, finding himself right beside an already broken window. He heaved himself out and cleared the wreckage, kicking upward, an experienced swimmer at 42. From the corner of his eye he thought he saw a woman struggling in the water, but it took all his strength to stay afloat, his coat pulling him down. Hearing the shouts of police, the splash of rowboats, he told himself she would be fine, giving in now to the hands that pulled him over the side of a dory. Patsy Iannessa had reached out for his friends, until the water and darkness extinguished his ability to make out anything but the writhing arms and legs, a struggle all around. He felt the smoothness of a windowpane and kicked. He passed through the jagged glass, cutting his head and hands, and powered to the surface. "God's air!" he thought, gasping. The danger was over. He scanned the water, the crowd above. No sign of his friends. With downtown Boston crowded with rush hour commuters and people who had come out to watch the election results, a massive crowd quickly gathered around the accident scene at Fort Point Channel. This view shows the inbound deck of the open drawbridge that Car 393 had plunged from. A patrolman directing rush-hour traffic at South Station heard the crash, saw what happened, and ran to an alarm box to flash word to the Lagrange Street district station. Soon, the news crackled across telegraph wires and telephone lines. From its berth near the mouth of the channel, Fireboat 44 steamed toward the Summer Street bridge, piercing the air with siren blasts. Jumping in with his driver at fire headquarters, Senior Deputy Chief John Taber roared to the accident site. A veteran "smoke eater," he had responded to every major Boston disaster since 1888. But he had never seen anything like this. At the fire box, he tapped an emergency call for more ambulances, more ladders, more ropes and a second call seeking divers from the wrecking companies and contractors who worked the waterfront. Already the first ambulances were rushing survivors to City Hospital and the Relief Station at Haymarket Square, but what of the scores still trapped below? Taber, who had seen gasoline-powered fire engines replace horses, prayed that the speed of the trucks and the marvel of the new Pulmotor, a device to pump oxygen into the lungs of the unconscious, could save their lives Eif only they could be freed from the unseen car. At City Hall, first-term Mayor James Michael Curley had just reached his office to review election returns, exhausted from weeks of Democratic stump speeches and two straight days of parades for troops returning from the Mexican border. He wanted to sink into bed in the manse he had just built opposite Jamaica Pond. But that all evaporated now, and Curley charged to the scene in his limousine, the gleaming Tammany Tess, parting a crowd that had formed rapidly on the Boston side. At 5:50, he stood on the deck of the drawbridge and surveyed the water, searchlights now illuminating the rowboats, Curley's ruddy face a mask of concern and sorrow. Hoping some of those trapped might retain a spark of life, the mayor telephoned the Navy Yard, flagging down Commandant William R. Rush to send sailors and divers and a massive floating crane. He put the Fire Department in charge of the rescue, and called on the Police Department to manage the crowds, with thousands now packing in and straining for a view. Curley feared the edge of the channel or one of the bridges might give way, that hundreds more would drop into the frigid water. Detectives and reporters waded through the throng, seeking survivors and witnesses. They found motorman Walsh, ashen, wide-eyed, talking too fast. He insisted it had been dark, that the street light now shining overhead had been out, that the warning lantern now hanging on the damaged gate was not there, either, that he had tried desperately to stop the car, but the brakes failed him. No, insisted John Fitzgerald, the bridge assistant who had closed the gates on the South Boston side, swearing that he had hung the lantern right before the car came crashing through, and that the street light had been shining, too. Walsh stammered, insisting otherwise. As reporters scribbled, an Elevated official shot Walsh a look. "Haven't I told you not to talk? Now keep quiet." In the water, illuminated by spotlights, firefighters and Harbor Police combed the muck with grappling hooks, searching for bodies and the streetcar. At 6:45, gasps spread through the crowd. Three harbor officers in a rowboat had dragged up a body, roughly 80 feet upstream from the bridge. They rowed now to the side of the Guardian, the flagship of the police fleet, and passed the body tenderly over the gunwales. It was a laborer 30ish, maybe, in a blue serge worksuit, black shirt, lace-up boots, and knit coat, his hands clenched. A few minutes later, a second body surfaced, shorter, slimmer, even younger, in a gray sack suit and checked mackinaw, the short coat of the working class. The bodies were covered in tarpaulins and brought to the rear of the Guardian, sheltered from view, where Medical Examiner George Magrath leaned in close. There were no signs of life, no hope for the Pulmotors. Beside him, priests from St. James Parish administered last rites. Few men in Boston were better known than Magrath, darling of the papers, star of the courtroom, recognized nationally as a father of forensic medicine. With his pipe and ribbon glasses, he was a Sherlock Holmesian figure who solved murders from microscopic clues hidden to police. But there was little mystery to solve here besides identity. In the first man's pockets, Magrath found a watch stopped at 5:26 and a bill for George Wencus of the West End. The second man carried a receipt suggesting his name was Antonio Della Pelle; the initials on his belt buckle seemed to confirm it. At 7:15, a fire captain using a lead sounding line struck the submerged trolley at the bottom of the channel. Soon, the great whistle of the US Navy tug Iwana could be heard from the harbor, and a small flotilla came into view, a crane rising from the center. Mayor Curley and a clutch of officials boarded the Navy craft, conferring with the chief machinist. The crane could lift 10 tons safely. The trolley weighed 20 tons at least, more if it was packed with bodies. The crane would be no use. As they waited for a bigger one, debating whether and how to raise the car, red lights gleamed for seven minutes atop the new Custom House Tower, the tallest building in New England, followed by white lights, visible not just at Fort Point Channel but for 50 miles, election-result signals corresponding with a code on the front page of the Globe. Samuel McCall, a Republican who had courted progressives, had just been elected governor; incumbent US Senator Henry Cabot Lodge had held off Democratic challenger John F. "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald, the former mayor. The presidential race remained knotted. Around the channel, few even noticed. Diving in those days was a matter of teamwork, with a heavy suit and helmet, weighted shoes, and lines connecting the diver to handlers on the surface. Foley was the first to discover that the streetcar was lying in the muck right side up, and he saw the bodies of many victims protruding from broken windows. The wrecking lighter Admiral steamed into view at 9, a behemoth mounted with a crane rated for 75 tons. Amid the dozen divers suiting up, the oldest would go down first: Peter Foley, a veteran of the waterfront working now for Hugh Nawn Construction Co. Foley was a wiry bantamweight, 54 years old and 5-foot-4, a man whose real first name was Florence, his wife named Florence, too. As he donned his watertight suit, leaden shoes, and heavy helmet, he tried not to think of what he would find on the bottom. All around, the brilliant searchlights made the whites on the sailors' bell-bottoms and the brass buttons on the police and fire coats seem to glow, but all eyes were on the water, tracking the trail of Foley's bubbles. Fifteen minutes later, his handlers felt a jerk on his line. Pull him up! Foley was still clutching the ladder, his handlers removing his helmet, when the mayor called to him. "How does the car lie?" "Just as she would if she were still on the rails," Foley said. He looked ashen. The car had turned around somehow, facing back toward South Boston. One end was battered; most of its windows were smashed. As Foley had circled it on the bottom, the hands and arms of trapped bodies brushed him as he passed by. The plan had been to send the divers down to fasten the crane's chains and haul up the car immediately, but they worried the bodies would wash out the open windows. They chose instead to send the divers in teams to tie ropes around the bodies and haul them carefully to the surface, one by one. The first bobbed up at 10, and the boom of a news photographer's flashlight powder caused people to jump. A searchlight showed the victim to be another young working man, his open eyes staring up. The police superintendent, Michael Crowley, called out in the night: "By order of the medical examiner, allow no photographer to photograph the bodies," said Crowley. "All officers will enforce this order." And so it went, for three hours, the divers knotting ropes around the bodies and sending them up one by one, the searchlights being turned away each time a victim crested to the surface, the men all around removing their hats. As the divers worked, the street light closest to the gate flickered and went out for a few minutes, then came back on. Maybe Walsh had been right. Still, at 12:40 a.m., as the divers finished their work, Sergeant James Smith of District 6 arrested the motorman on manslaughter charges, taking him to the D Street station in a cab. A half-hour later, with thousands still crowding the scene, Foley surfaced once more. The car was empty. Forty-four bodies had come up, all of them male; one more had been ruled dead hours earlier, in an ambulance bound for the Relief Hospital at Haymarket Square. By 2 a.m., the crowd at the Northern District Mortuary in the West End had grown larger than the authorities could manage, wives and brothers wanting desperately to get in, their eyes swollen and red, babies crying in their arms. Magrath's staff let them in one at a time. John Carey went through once looking for his son, James, a wireworker and father of four who was due home to celebrate his 45th birthday. Carey's daughter-in-law Susie had called the Cambridge police when James didn't come home, and they told her about the accident; now it fell to the father at 66, and he stepped from the morgue relieved not to have recognized his son among the bodies. The night air was cool now. It wasn't like James not to come home, but John clung to the faintest hope that he was still out there somewhere stuck in the next car behind the accident, caught up in the scene along the channel, or lost in the drama of election night along Newspaper Row, where all the dailies were projecting returns on screens hung across the street. A second set of bodies came in, and he steeled himself to walk through once more, as a mortuary assistant lifted sheet after sheet. Still no sight of James; he allowed himself to exhale. And then a third set of victims rolled in, and there was his son, the very last body John Carey saw. The great crane on the Admiral groaned, and the streetcar surged above the choppy waters at 3:30 a.m., 10 hours after the crash. One end was bashed, as Foley had described, but the other looked ready for passengers to board, the sign over the vestibule still advertising a destination of Washington and Summer. Officials immediately cloaked it in a tarp. Already the morning editions and the election extras cranked out by the evening papers were in the hands of the newsboys. "45 Killed as Car Plunges Into Channel," the Herald said above the flag, teasing a grim headline down the page. "HOMECOMING WORKERS FROM SOUTH BOSTON DIE LIKE RATS CAUGHT IN TRAP." Sure that more bodies lay in the channel, the Boston Journal put the count higher ("STREET CAR PLUNGE KILLS 50") and the Post higher still ("54 DIE AS CAR DROPS IN BAY"), but the Daily Advertiser topped them both. "60 ARE DROWNED," it declared. "FEW SAVED." The stories did not mince words. "The worst tragedy in the history of the city," the Journal wrote; the Globe concurred, dubbing it "the greatest catastrophe that has ever taken place" in Boston. Back on solid ground, Mayor Curley announced plans for a conference on drawbridge safety. In a few hours, City Councilor James J. Storrow would propose an ordinance to place clear warning signs 200 feet from every drawbridge and set a 6-mile-an-hour speed limit between those signs and the draws. On Beacon Hill, state Representative Lewis R. Sullivan, a Dorchester Democrat who had mounted a failed bid two years earlier to ban the tango, began drafting legislation to bar passengers from standing beside motormen on front platforms. At noon, Magrath issued an updated list of victims, with 41 confirmed names. Reporters fanned out to track down more stories of the living and the dead, like John J. Craven, the woolhouse shipper who survived because he remembered a forgotten parcel on his desk just as he was about to board, and Kempton Singer, the electric-company coal tosser who died after finally getting out early after two weeks of overtime, leaving his fiancee to stare mournfully at his violin. Investigators examining the trolley found no flaws besides the fresh accident damage, pointing only to poor visibility or human error. The twisted, battered brake handle showed how desperately Walsh had wrenched it. And on the floor, amid scattered hats and clothing, they found a gold bracelet engraved EHW the initials of Elsie Wood, the Condit stenographer who had not reached home in Roxbury that night or returned to work the next morning. In the channel, fire and police oarsmen continued to row back and forth, forgoing sleep, checking under piers and dragging the bottom, looking for Wood's body and possibly others. On State Street, police arrested a hysterical bootblack, only to learn at the station that the man had lost two cousins in the accident, fellow Italian immigrants. In Revere and Roslindale, Chelsea and Cambridge, families made plans for funerals. The flag flew half-staff at the Fish Pier, which had lost 10 men; down the road, Walworth had lost 17, men who'd gone home as always one Tuesday evening, never to return. On Thursday, one of the trolley's signs washed up in East Boston and another in Winthrop, 4 miles across the harbor. On Friday, grapplers pulled long seat cushions from the bottom of the channel 50 feet south of where the car went down setting off a rumor that Elsie Wood's body had come up and sending a police ambulance racing to Constitution Wharf to meet it. Her boss put up a $100 reward, spurring dozens of amateurs to venture out in rowboats all over the harbor; her family appealed to Mayor Curley, who agreed to send down another diver. Readers sent money to newspaper offices, marked for the widows and orphans. Elevated officials promised to compensate any family that had lost a breadwinner. The next week, the search for more bodies was called off. The investigation closed and the Summer Street bridge reopened. The death toll remained at 45 until May, the worst streetcar accident in the nation's history, when a body surfaced in the warming waters and someone spotted it bobbing beneath the Congress Street bridge. It was Elsie Wood, victim 46. After a thorough investigation, the state Public Service Commission ruled that Walsh had been wrong to run the trolley right under a small, company-installed stop sign 200 feet from the bridge, but that many bridges had no such stop signs and motormen often failed to heed them anyway. The commission called for widespread installation of larger, standardized stop signs, for mandatory stops by drivers, and for every city or town with streetcars running over drawbridges to set the warning gates at a "safe distance." They were to be painted with white and black stripes and hung with clearly visible red lights. In October 1917, Walsh went to trial in Suffolk Superior Court. Seventy-four witnesses took the stand, including the conductor, George McKeon, who had been working his way toward the back door when the car went over. McKeon, who jumped, smacked his head, and blacked out before being rescued, was so shaken by the accident that he had still not returned to work. But he testified on Walsh's behalf, saying that the car had been moving at a normal rate of speed, nothing strange about Walsh's driving. But others testified that the car had been going unusually fast, including Albert Case, a Western Electric credit manager who jumped from the front platform; he said Walsh hastily rolled through a series of stops from A Street until the crash. The three bridge tenders swore that the street light was working and the red lantern had been in place. Several witnesses supported them; others did not. A police officer who walked the bridge on his beat said the street light had twice gone out earlier that week, relighting when he kicked it. And George Corning, the motorman on the last car to make it through before the accident, said the light was out when he crossed the bridge uneventfully at 5:18. Defense attorney James Vahey, the carmen's union counsel and a former Democratic gubernatorial candidate, said Walsh had done everything in his power to stop the car once he spotted the danger, and that the motorman would give anything to go back and live the day over. The jury deliberated late into the night, and the next day returned a verdict: not guilty. Gerald Walsh never again drove a streetcar. He worked at the A&P, served in World War I, visited his mother in Ireland, and returned to Boston. With his twin brother now high up in the union, Walsh got rehired by the Elevated, this time in the stockroom. Still haunted by the accident, he dropped dead from a blood clot at 41; for decades after, his family avoided speaking about the disaster. McKeon, the conductor, went off to war, too, shipping off as a doughboy with the Army's Yankee Division. On July 18, 1918, his company was part of a counterattack against the Germans near the Marne River in the Champagne region of France. Private McKeon was killed, his death not reported in the Boston papers until October, a month before the war's end. The City Council named a side street in his honor near the South Boston Marine Park, not far from the P Street car house where he briefly worked; today, the street and the carhouse are both gone. Instead of celebrating his birthday, James Carey's family held a private funeral at home, then buried him in Wakefield. The widow of one of the Fish Pier men, Ira Steadman, buried her husband that Friday and delivered their eighth child the next week, naming him for his father. Arthur Smith, one of just three or four to escape from inside the car on the bottom, married soon afterward and joined the Navy the following spring. He became a career officer, serving in both world wars, surviving the Pearl Harbor attack while commanding a cargo ship in nearby Honolulu Harbor. Both of his sons became naval officers, too. "Lucky is the girl who gets his bid to a prom," the Lexington High yearbook entry read for one of them. Lucky that either was born. Nelson McFarlane, the amateur boxer who pushed Lillian Frank to safety and saved another man in the channel, went on to run a restaurant and bar in the South End, Clarendon Gardens. To his nephew, Herb, he was larger than life, the whisper of long-ago heroics contributing to the myth. When McFarlane died in 1958, his sister Katherine Chambers inherited his bar; after her son missed a shift, she fired 21-year-old Herb. Forced to find other work, he landed as a repairman in the nascent photocopier business, a first step toward becoming a billionaire, a magnate in copiers and then in car dealerships. Just a few feet, a split-second decision, made the difference between family trees that flourished and branches cut short. Pasquale Iannessa's "chums" never made it to 20. He was blessed with a full life. He courted his future wife with bicycle rides up to Stoneham, raised five children, and became a bakery driver with friends up and down his route. And after burying his brothers, John Macaluso, who just missed the car, kept working at Walworth for decades to come, a lonely commute. He had two sons and eight grandchildren and lived to nearly 90, outlasting the Walworth factory and the streetcar line. For years, the disaster remained a grim measuring stick for Boston, mentioned immediately when a North End storage tank burst in 1919, killing 21 in a fast-moving wave of molasses; a Chinatown speakeasy collapsed in 1925, killing 43; or a streetcar jumped the tracks in Roxbury in 1939, killing six. Then an overcrowded nightclub called Cocoanut Grove ignited in 1942, trapping and killing a staggering 492, and the Summer Street Disaster receded into the mist. In time only a few scattered families remembered, and even then some did not discuss it or chose to forget. Sophie (Wencus) Peterson is 92 now, and she remembers going with her father to Forest Hills on summer Sundays to put flowers on his brother's grave. She knew only that her uncle died in an Elevated accident before she was born, that it still had the power to make her father cry. Car 393 was repaired and returned to service, but few were willing to operate the "death car." So the car was turned into a wrecker, assisting with derailments, disabled cars, and track work. Nearly all the streetcar tracks across the city were ripped out or paved over in the decade after World War II; this route, from City Point to downtown via Summer Street, stopped running on June 19, 1953. The next day a bus replaced it, and it still follows the same route. There is even a stop at Summer and Melcher street, where Gerald Walsh slowed without stopping, squeezing on one last passenger that fateful night. Tugs no longer pull barges through the channel, and the drawbridge motors were removed in 1970. The bridge decks are now fixed in place. But the bridge from 1899 is still there, spanning Fort Point Channel right by South Station. In a city with historic markers and tablets every few blocks, there is not a word here about the 46 commuters who dropped to their death in 1916. But every few minutes at rush hour, another bus rumbles over the bridge, lights glistening in the water below. How this story was reported Information about the accident and Boston in 1916 came from hundreds of contemporary articles in local and national newspapers; surviving public, legal, and genealogical records; multiple books; and interviews with descendants of victims and survivors.

'''THE SUNSHINE STATION RAILWAY DISASTER''' On the night of Easter Monday, 20 April 1908, over 400 were injured and 44 people died as a result of a Melbourne-bound train from Bendigo colliding with the rear of a mail train from Ballarat, which was just leaving the station. Around 1,100 people were aboard the two trains. Almost all of the casualties were from the Ballarat train, as the Bendigo train was cushioned by its two locomotives.

Train Disasters

{{Image|file=Worldwide_Disasters_Project_Images-83.jpg |align=c |size=400 |caption=Train derailment }} Train wreck/train crash is a type of disaster involving one or more trains. ( It can be caused by weather, such as Flooding over the railroad tracks. (Example a 2015 wreck just occurred.- pictures are protected as the wreck is being investigated.) Train wrecks often occur due to human error (miscommunication) . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_wreck :'''DERAILMENT''' {{Image|file=Worldwide_Disasters_Project_Images-34.jpg |align=l |size=300 |caption=Farragut Derailment. }} {{Image|file=Worldwide_Disasters_Project_Images-33.jpg |align=c |size=300 |caption=San Francisco Earthquake Train Derailment. }} {{Clear}} :'''MOVING TRAINS MEET ON SAME TRACK''' (Head on Collision) '''DRIVER ERROR''' :1904 New Market Train Wreck, Tennessee- A passenger train from Bristol to Knoxville, TN (3 cars of 140 passengers) and a passenger train heading east were using a single track in 1904. passengers, and No. 12 eastbound 'Carolina Special' from Chattanooga to Salisbury, North Carolina.

In 7 seconds the wooden passenger cars were crushed like egg shells as the locomotive, coal-tender of the local train flew over the Special's engine, tender and baggage cars, and landed on top of the wooden passenger cars, squashing them downward, and sturdy steel Pullman cars smashing the wooden cars from behind.

The two Empire Builders were traveling to the West Coast as a pair. The first section contained the Pullman sleeper cars, with 237 aboard, and the second section carried between 600 and 700 in coach cars. A new crew came on at Fargo that afternoon, with section-one leaving at 3:25 and section two pulling out about 10 minutes later. Passengers were almost all military men and women – World War II was winding down and would, in fact, officially end within the week. The only eyewitness that evening was Annette Desautels, who had just gotten off work at the Red Owl. “...when I got to the Great Northern tracks,” she said, “I...wondered why the train had stopped there, since the Empire Builder never makes a stop at Michigan... I could hear the shrill whistle of a second train coming...then I saw a railroad man with a red flag drop off the rear platform... run back down the track a ways, then frantically attempt to flag the oncoming train.” There was no time for the second train to stop. The second engine plunged into the rear car of section-one, sending it skyward and splitting it down the middle. The fated Pullman, named Peoria, was a “bobtail” – part observation car and part sleeping berths. One serviceman saw the second train coming and jumped out a window. The remaining 34 were either killed instantly or overcome by steam escaping from the engine below. Roughly two-thirds were military; the rest were primarily women, with several small children. Only one person was found alive Due to heavy patronage during World War II the Empire Builder ran in two sections, known as First 1 and Second 1. On the fateful day both sections were hauled by Baldwin built GN S-2 4-8-4 steam locomotives. When the trains departed St. Paul Union Depot they were twenty minutes apart. They travelled to Fargo via Willmar. ''Michigan train wreck'' excerpt from Wikipedia :The Michigan train wreck was the worst rail disaster in both North Dakota and Great Northern Railway history. It happened on August 9, 1945, at Michigan, North Dakota, and involved Great Northern's premier train, the Empire Builder. :After a crew change, First 1 left Fargo at 3:25 that afternoon headed by locomotive No.2584, carrying 237 passengers in eleven cars, mostly Pullman sleepers. Second 1 comprised eleven coaches hauled by locomotive No.2588. It carried between 600 and 700 people. The trains were under the control of the Office of Defense Transportation (ODT) and most passengers were military personnel and their families. Automatic Block Signal (ABS) protection was in place up to Fargo but not on the section beyond, via Grand Forks and Surrey to Minot. On departing Grand Forks there was thirty minutes between the trains; but four miles west of Niagara the brakeman on First 1 reported smoke coming from the tender, a hot box (overheated journal bearing) was discovered and repacked, and a water line fixed to supply water to cool the journal. First 1 stopped again at Petersburg to check the journal and adjust the hose. All the time Second 1 was gaining on it. *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_train_wreck *https://www.michigannd.com/index.asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC=%7B31FFF3FA-49E9-4C7B-900A-B326700E1E44%7D {{blue|FATALITIES }} *[[Hanson-4386|Harry Arthur]] '''SOURCES:''' *http://www.thomasbuchananlaw.com/causes-of-train-accidents/ *https://www.sidgilreath.com/learn/railroad-accidents-causes.html *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_train_wreck *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_rail_accidents *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derailment *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_wreck *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tram_accident *[https://www.historylink.org/File/5127 Train disaster caused by Avalanche]

In the summer of 1868, mining camps started opening in the surrounding Bear River valley. Dreams of prosperity lured miners from England, Scandinavia, China, and from throughout the United States to settle in "Wyoming Camp", which later became Almy. Named for James T. Almy, a clerk for the Rocky Mountain Coal Company, and located 3 miles north west of Evanston, Almy was strung out along the Bear River for five miles. This particular "string town" owed its existence solely to coal mining. Her 4000 residents suffered more than their share of mining tragedies. Finally, in 1900 the mines were closed by the Union Pacific due to labor troubles and explosions. "SHPO Monuments and Markers." Legend of Almy. Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office, n.d. Web. 6 July 2017. http://wyshpo.uwyo.edu/mmdatabase/ {{Image|file= Dean_s_Photos-12.jpg |align=c |size=600 |caption=''Coal Mines at Almy 1871'' }} === Mine Disaster Circumstances === :On 12 Jan at 11:25 PM, an explosion ripped through Union Pacific Mine No. 4 as two miners descended into the mine with empty cars. The blast was reported to be so massive that it killed all miners working in the mine. There were two individuals near the open of the mine at the time of the explosion, they were also killed when timbers splintered and were thrown from the entrance. There had been previous reports of the mine having gas present at the time of the explosion, they have been unable to confirm the actual cause of the explosion but it is believed to have been caused by a miner’s open light. The fatalities included eleven men and two boys, they were reported as John Cummock, Joseph Evans, William Evans, John Hood, Thomas Horne, William Horsley, John Hunter, Frank Mason, Robert Murdock, John Peck, William Peterson, Ellis Ridgeman, Enoch Thomas.

'''The Almy Affair''' We are enabled to give a few more particulars of the horrible affair, which occurred at Almy on last Tuesday night. The bodies of the unfortunate miners were all recovered, the last one having taken out at about 2 o'clock a.m. Friday. There were eleven men and two boys in the mine at the time of the explosion. Not one was taken out alive. The theory is that the explosion was started at the very bottom of the mine; as those who were at work there were burned worse than the others. The names of the victims are: Frank Mason; Almy; formerly of North Ogden; Enoch Thomas, Almy; Robert Murdock and John Hood, Nova Scotia; Henry Cummock, Almy; late of Scotland; Wm. Horsley, late of England; John Hunter, Riverdale; John Peak, South Weber; Wm. And Joseph Evans, North Ogden; Wm. Peterson, Coolville, Thomas Horne, Canada, and Ellis Gridgman, Coalville. Eleven of the victims were married men, while the other two were boys only thirteen years of age. Only two of the unfortunates, Mason and Thomas, escaped injury by fire. These two were about 1000 feet away from the main slope and when found were laying with their faces on the ground, their heads being nearly half submerged in water that had accumulated in the mine after they had been suffocated by after damp. The Superintendent, Reuben Fowkes, was not as reported, hidden; but worked night and day until the bodies were all taken out. While endeavors were being made to rescue the entombed minders, three of the rescuing party ventured too far in the hope of finding someone alive and were overcome with then deadly after damp and had to be dragged out of the mine. Great fears of another explosion were entertained and only twenty men were allowed to go into the mine. This force worked from midnight on Tuesday until about two a.m., Friday when the last of the bodies re recovered. Intense excitement prevailed and all sorts of rumors were started as to the cause of the explosion. As a reporter of the Ogden Herald was endeavoring to learn the particulars of the affair at the depot last night, a gentlemen stepped up to him and asking if he was a reporter, and receiving an affirmative reply, said: A young man came to me at Evanston ad told me that he was shown through the mine Monday afternoon by Supt. Fowkes, who stated that there was not enough gas in the mine to cause an explosion? He stated that the explosion was the result of carelessness by the Superintendent. The prevailing opinion seems to be that the horrible fatality was caused by carelessness, but no one seems able to tell where the fault lies. A coroner's jury was summoned and began an investigation of the affair. The jury will not conclude its investigations until Monday or Tuesday next, when we will give the result of their findings. The body of John Hunter arrived on the U.P. express last evening and was buried in Ogden Cemetery today. The scene at the station last evening when the body arrived was extremely affecting. The aged father with his gray head bowed with grief came in on the train. The smothered sobs of friends and relatives of the deceased as the casket containing the remains was lifted tenderly from the car started the tears in many eyes that were dry before. It is thought that the bodies of the other victims who lived in this vicinity will be brought into Ogden tonight. https://newspapers.lib.utah.edu/ark:/87278/s6vd8047 ::'''''Reports of the names vary depending upon the newspaper source.

USS Maine Disaster

{{Image|file=USS_Maine_Disaster.jpg |align=c |size=650 |caption= }} The USS Maine Disaster is one of the most well-known [[Space:Military_Disasters|military disasters]] in United States history due to its role in causing the [[Space:Spanish_American_War|Spanish-American War]]. The USS Maine was an American Navy armored cruiser that was sent to Havana, Cuba in order to protect United States interests during the Cuban War for Independence from Spain. On February 15, 1898, at 9:40 pm, an explosion occurred onboard the Maine that resulted in the total loss of the ship.Annual Reports of the Navy Department for the Year 1898, by the Office of the Secretary of the Navy. Washington: Government Printing Office, 1898. https://books.google.com/books?id=UStHAQAAIAAJ Maine's casualties were extensive. As the Navy's Surgeon General reported: "The complement at the time of the disaster was 355--290 sailors, 39 marines, and 26 officers. Of this number 251 men and 2 officers were killed or drowned and only 102 saved. Seven of this number died subsequently of their injuries, making the number of survivors 94. This gives as the appalling percentage of loss practically 75 per cent of those on board [...] Of the 77 rescued sailors and marines, only 16 were uninjured."Annual Report of the Surgeon General of the United States Navy: Medical statistics, by the Navy Department Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. Harvard University: 1896. https://books.google.com/books?id=J9QEAAAAYAAJ {{Image|file=USS_Maine_Disaster-1.jpg |align=c |size=340 |caption= }} At the time, a naval board of inquiry concluded that the Maine "was destroyed by the explosion of a submarine mine." Yellow Journalism publications such as [[Pulitzer-1|Joseph Pulitzer]]'s New York World and [[Hearst-4|William Randolph Hearst]]'s New York Journal blamed the explosion on a Spanish attack, and the resulting public outcry pushed the United States into war with Spain. Although the possibility of a mine having caused the explosion remains "plausible," according to a 1998 computer model, there is no conclusive evidence and many scientists believe that the explosion was accidental, and the cause was an internal coal fire.Fisher, Louis.

'''More than 2,000 former workers and residents from Wittenoom are known to have died from asbestos-related diseases.''' The toll continues to rise because of the long gap between exposure and the development of disease, which can be between 20 and 70 years. A song written about the tragedy had the refrain, "Who's going to save me?":Midnight Oil. 1990. “Blue Sky Mine.” Blue Sky Mining. Songwriters: Rob Hirst, Jim Moginie, Peter Garrett, Martin Rotsey, Bones Hillman.

But if I work all day on the Blue Sky mine
There'll be food on the table tonight
Still, I walk up and down on the Blue Sky mine
There'll be pay in your pocket tonight

== History == {{Image|file=Wittenoom_Blue_Asbestos_Disaster-1.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=Crocidolite (Blue Asbestos) }} [[Hancock-9159|Lang Hancock]], then managing Mulga Downs Station, discovered crocidolite (blue asbestos) on the property in 1936 and showed a sample to Islwyn (Izzy) Walters and Walter (Len) Leonard at nearby Nullagine goldfields, who advised of its value. Hancock and partner [[Wright-43032|Peter Wright]] formed the Australian Blue Asbestos Pty. Ltd. (ABA) to mine, bag, and distribute Wittenoom Gorge crocidolite.

Leo Snell, a Mulga Downs kangaroo shooter, pegged a claim some 20 km southeast in Yampire Gorge, where even more blue asbestos was visible. Workers detonated the rocks and chiseled out asbestos by hand, packing it in sacks transported by mule team wagons to the coast at Point Samson. By 1939, all asbestos mined was promptly bought by the British to meet surging war needs. In the meantime, Walters and Leonard purchased Yampire Gorge from Snell, moved a treatment plant there, and began mining and bagging the fibre. They cleared the way into Yampire Gorge by blasting the biggest rocks and pulling them aside with camels. By 1940, twenty-two men were employed at the Yampire Gorge workings producing about 375 tons of asbestos fibre.
{{Image|file=Wittenoom_Blue_Asbestos_Disaster-4.jpg |align=l |size=150 }} In 1943, CSR Limited (Colonial Sugar Company) purchased both the Wittenoom and Yampire Mines and operated them through subsidiary ABA (later Midalco Pty Ltd.). Mining continued at Yampire Gorge until 1946, when larger-scale mining at Wittenoom commenced.Markey, Melita, ed. 2022. [https://asbestosdiseases.org.au/wittenoom-chronology/ “Asbestos and Wittenoom – A Chronology of Events”], Asbestos Diseases Society Of Australia Inc. Accessed July 12, 2023. From 1947-1948, the town of Wittenoom was constructed at the entrance to Wittenoom Gorge, 10 km from the mine and mill. CSR also worked the Colonial Mine in Wittenoom Gorge between 1953 and 1960.
{{Image|file=Wittenoom_Blue_Asbestos_Disaster-3.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=Blue Asbestos Milling, 1960's }} Mining operations lasted until 1966. Over two decades, CSR employed 7,000 people (indicating high turnover for a 200-person operation), and 13,000 dependents, including 7,000 children, resided at some point in Wittenoom (pop. 2,000).Markey, Melita, ed. 2022. [https://asbestosdiseases.org.au/the-wittenoom-tragedy/ “The Wittenoom Tragedy”], Asbestos Diseases Society Of Australia Inc. Accessed July 12, 2023. All were exposed to hazardous levels of blue asbestos fibres, which are known to cause asbestosis Asbestosis is a chronic lung disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibres. Prolonged exposure to these fibres can cause lung tissue scarring and shortness of breath and puts a person at increased risk of developing pulmonary hypertension, mesothelioma, or lung cancer. There is currently no cure., lung cancer and mesotheliomaMesothelioma is an aggressive and deadly form of cancer that occurs in the thin layer of tissue that covers the majority of your internal organs (mesothelium) such as lungs, heart, stomach, etc. There is currently no cure,. Concerns that miners and millers at Wittenoom were being exposed to dangerous levels of asbestos were raised by the Public Health Department of WA as early as 1948. The first known case of mesothelioma at the mine was diagnosed in 1961 (the man died), and by 1966, CSR had ceased mining the site.

When common lawsuits by former Wittenoom workers began in the 1970s, CSR claimed that its subsidiary Midalco Pty. Ltd., a company with no significant assets, was responsible. Initial cases starting in 1978 were unsuccessful, but in 1988 the Victorian Supreme Court awarded substantial damages against Midalco. Then a 1988 Western Australia Supreme Court case found against CSR as well as Midalco, piercing CSR’s corporate veil. After accepting liability, CSR began settling claims out of court. In 1989 the Wittenoom group settlement was agreed in which CSR paid $18,266,000 to 200 Wittenoom claimants. And the cases kept coming. The Wittenoom asbestos is believed to have killed more than 2000 workers, residents, and downstream users, and counting.[https://www.mininglegacies.org/mines/west-aust/wittenoom/ “Wittenoom – Mining Legacies”], website, Mining Legacies - Images and impacts from mining in Australia, Mine: Wittenoom, Yampire Gorge and Colonial, Western Australia, Historic, Blue asbestos.

Like other employers whose workers handled asbestos, CSR faces ongoing liabilities. CSR includes in its financial statements a product liability provision covering all known asbestos-related claims and reasonably foreseeable future claims. This provision is reviewed every six months based on independent expert advice in relation to the future incidence and value of asbestos-related claims. As of 31 March 2023, the asbestos provision fell to $193.4 million (previously $201.8 million as of 30 September 2022). This provision included a prudential margin of $36.6 million.CSR.

[[Category: Scotland Project Managed FSPs]] ==Woodside First Aid Post Disaster, Paisley, Renfrewshire== Hundreds of Luftwaffe bombers attacked the town of Greenock on the River Clyde on the nights of 5th, 6th and 7th May 1941. The bombers were attacked by fighters from 141 Squadron, based at Ayr Airfield. This scattered the formations of the bombers, causing some to dump their bombs at random. In the early hours of the morning of 6th May, the bombers were intercepted by fighters, taking their flight path over Paisley. At around 2 a.m. two large parachute landmines were released from a Heinkel-111 bomber. The Woodside First Aid Post was at that time treating a number of people injured when a tenement in West Campbell Street had been hit earlier.Buddies' War 1939 - 1945 by James Meikle Smith The First Aid Post itself was then struck by a direct hit from one of the parachute mines, killing 92 people. Only 6 survived. Two auxiliary firemen were killed when the other mine fell on Newton Street.[http://paisleyonline.co.uk/html/woodside_bomb.html Paisley Online] - History: Woodside First Aid Post Due to wartime reporting restrictions, a newspaper article that morning stated only that "A first aid post where casualties were being treated after a tenement had been struck in a central Scottish town was itself hit by a high explosive bomb."

Black Plague

{{Image|file=Worldwide_Disasters_Project_Images-78.jpg |align=c |size=350 |caption= . }} '''Bubonic Plague or Black Death''' spread across Europe during the years '''1346-1353'''. The frightening name, however, only came several centuries after its visitation (and was probably a mistranslation of the Latin word ‘atra’ meaning both ‘terrible’ and ‘black)’. - See more at: [http://www.historytoday.com/ole-j-benedictow/black-death-greatest-catastrophe-ever#sthash.oIuqDDAr.dpuf History Today] {{Image|file=Worldwide_Disasters_Project_Images-3.png |align=c |size=440 |caption=map of spread of Plague }} '''Transmission-Microbiological explanation: '''The pathogen was a bacterium, known as ''Yersinia pestis''. This is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped coccobacillus and is carried in the gut of the fleas who lived on the Oriental rats of Central Asia. These fleas were living on the Oriental, then traveled along the Silk Road, reaching Crimea by '''1343.''' :'''Underlying factors for this disease''': This was a series of host-vector infections. In the early days people did not bathe regularly, there were no washing machines to wash clothes. The holds of ships were rather dirty. Thus the rats who live in dark places, fed on whatever they can find. The rats picked up the flea in the Orient. The fleas continued to live on the rats, as the rats moved from place to place. The fleas carried the bacterium, ''Yersinia pestis" in their gut.'' When the ships docked, the rats jumped off the ships to find more food, taking the fleas with them. Once encountering a new host - ''people'', the fleas bit the people. The bacterium was introduced into the people's skin, then the blood stream, where the bacterium, ''Yersinia pestis", began to multiply. The cycle began, ending with death. [[Richardson-7161|Richardson-7161]] 03:41, 20 January 2020 (UTC) ( from days of teaching parasitology) {{Image|file=Photos-233.jpg |align=c |size=440 |caption='''Trade routes caused the spread of the Black plague''' }} {{Image|file=Worldwide_Disasters_Project_Images-6.png |align=r |size=440 |caption=Sars, Plague, Sars, Viral Parisitosis, all factors of origins }} The bacterium was carried by the Oriental rat fleas living on the black rats, who llved in many dirty places, such as the holds of merchant ships. The fleas fed on garbage, people who had the infection. The bacterium, "Yersinia pestis" was in their "gut". When the ships docked at a port these rats who had the black flea, carrying the bacterium, jumped off the ship, and bit another person. This was spread throughout the Mediterranean and Europe, the Black Death is estimated to have killed 30–60% of Europe's total population. {{Image|file=Worldwide_Disasters_Project_Images-79.jpg |align=l |size=300 |caption= . }}{{Image|file=Disasters-3.jpg |align=r |size=100 |caption= }}{{clear}} 50 million people in the 14th century, or 60 per cent of In total, the plague reduced the world population from an estimated '''450 million down to "'350–375 million''' in the 14th century. Mediterranean Europe: Italy, south of France and Spain, where the plague ran for about four years consecutively, death percentage closer to '''75–80%''' of the population. The plague recurred occasionally in Europe until 2014. :Symptoms - within 3 days of exposure, the person has flu-like symptoms, weakness, swollen lymph glands. The lymphatic system is a major component of the body's immune system. The organs within the lymphatic system are tonsils, adenoids, spleen, and thymus.

Today he is a public speaker and works with numerous nonprofits for veterans, police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical services. He lives in Prescott, Arizona. McDonough is an uplifting speaker, whose courage to find support at his weakest has inspired others to find their own tribes of support. Building a sense of brotherhood within communities gives McDonough great joy – because it helps this fighter honor the legacy of his 19 lost, but not forgotten, brothers." (Source: https://azstateparks.com/hotshots/the-hotshots/about-the-hotshots). McDonough has also written a book about his experience called, "''Granite Mountain''." Here is the synopsis of the book from Amazon.com... "A "unique and bracing" (Booklist) first-person account by the sole survivor of Arizona's disastrous 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire, which took the lives of 19 "hotshots" -- firefighters trained specifically to battle wildfires. Brendan McDonough was on the verge of becoming a hopeless, inveterate heroin addict when he, for the sake of his young daughter, decided to turn his life around. He enlisted in the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a team of elite firefighters based in Prescott, Arizona. Their leader, Eric Marsh, was in a desperate crunch after four hotshots left the unit, and perhaps seeing a glimmer of promise in the skinny would-be recruit, he took a chance on the unlikely McDonough, and the chance paid off. Despite the crew's skepticism, and thanks in large part to Marsh's firm but loving encouragement, McDonough unlocked a latent drive and dedication, going on to successfully battle a number of blazes and eventually win the confidence of the men he came to call his brothers. Then, on June 30, 2013, while McDonough -- "Donut" as he'd been dubbed by his team--served as lookout, they confronted a freak, 3,000-degree inferno in nearby Yarnell, Arizona. The relentless firestorm ultimately trapped his hotshot brothers, tragically killing all 19 of them within minutes. Nationwide, it was the greatest loss of firefighter lives since the 9/11 attacks. Granite Mountain is a gripping memoir that traces McDonough's story of finding his way out of the dead end of drugs, finding his purpose among the Granite Mountain Hotshots, and the minute-by-minute account of the fateful day he lost the very men who had saved him. A harrowing and redemptive tale of resilience in the face of tragedy, Granite Mountain is also a powerful reminder of the heroism of the people who put themselves in harm's way to protect us every day." ==Reactions== *On June 30, Arizona Governor [[Drinkwine-10|Jan Drinkwine Brewer]] issued a statement offering her condolences. "This is as dark a day as I can remember," she said.
