Collision in the English Channel, between the Steamer "Mangerton" and "The Josephine Willis", 1856. 'The mate [of the Josephine Willis]...shouted to the steamer; but no notice was taken, the steamer continuing her course, and in less than five minutes the collision took place...Upon hearing the terrible crash Captain Clenny rushed up on deck [and]...seeing that the ship was foundering, told [the passengers] to throw the hencoops overboard and hold on to them...The last that was seen of him, was after the ship had fallen over on her beam-ends, with her topgallant yards in the water...crowds of boats made off to the spot...The sea, for several miles round, was scoured by the boats in the hope that some of the unfortunate creatures might be found floating on some spars or hencoops; but none were to be observed'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
