Douglass (Propeller), collision, 12 May 1887

Description
Full Text

A collision occurred at the State St. bridge, Chicago, yesterday
afternoon, between the schr. YORK STATE and the stm. DOUGLASS. The YORK
STATE was bound down and the DOUGLASS swung across the stream under her bow
so she made the draw. The YORK STATE's jibboom struck the DOUGLASS
amidships on the port side and snapped off, after crushing in a portion of
the DOUGLASS's deck cabin. The steamboat company will have to foot the
damage.
