Nevada (Propeller), U130218, collision, 16 May 1887
- Full Text
The schooner C.A. KING, disabled and leaking badly, arrived here on Tuesday, in tow of the tug SWEEPSTAKES. She is ore laden from St. Ignace. Monday morning just at daybreak, she was run into by the steamer NEVADA, off Skilligalee. The NEVADA lost her foremast and mainmast, and carried away the KING's jibboom, bowsprit, cat-head and windlass bit. The steamer then swung clear of the KING, but recognised the perilous situation and cut the tow-line with an axe. When the wreckage was cleared away, the NEVADA took the KING in tow, but afterwards turned her over to the SWEEPSTAKES.
