Ghost Ship Circles

October 27, 2021

They waft via the spine-chilling pages of many a sea-faring yarn - the ghost ships which sail perpetually to haunt the residing seas. But as soon as, in the English Channel, a actual ghost ship sailed. The story started out with a collision in thick fog.

The two ships which collided had been the French steamer Frigorifique built 1869. A ketch rigged steamer of 715 heaps, carrying wine from Bordeaux to Rouen and the British 522 ton collier Rumney, constructed 1879, sailing from Cardiff with 920 heaps of coal bound for Rochefort. They collided off Ile de Seine all through a thick, foggy morning on nineteenth March, 1884.

The Rumney became steerage S.E. Via S. On slow engines along with her steam whistle sounding at everyday durations. When the lookout heard a noise at the port bow, straight away the captain reversed engines to complete astern, wherein the Frigorifique, shifting at vast speed (later denied through the Frigorifique) on a westerly path, turned into seen crossing the bows of the Rumney, shifting from port to starboard. The wheels of each ships had been placed over hard a starboard however the collision could not be avoided, the stem of the Rumney coming in contact with the alternative vessels starboard area, slicing half way across her deck.

With a deafening crash the Frigorifique's bows smashed into the starboard zone of the collier. Within seconds, the Rumney was sinking, sending her 15 guys walking to the ships lifeboat and punt even as the French crew went for the pinnace. The French deliver had its revenge. The two crews in the boats gave chase and succeeded in boarding the runaway ship, and her engines had been stopped, but shortly afterwards it become found she become additionally sinking, but each crews have been saved and assisted ashore via some fishermen.

As the fog lifted, and the survivors of each ships noticed the French deliver simply throughout the ocean, the sinister mystery was explained. The Frigorifique had no longer sunk after that first collision.
