Produktinformationen zu „The Princess Alice Disaster (ePub)“
The collision of the Princess Alice pleasure steamer with the Tyne collier, Bywell Castle, in the Thames in September 1878 resulted in Britain's worst-ever inland waterway accident.

In the process, the author makes a startling discovery...
