The
tug, towing coal barge Margarida (United Kingdom) from the Tyne for
Boulogne, France, was stranded on the
Goodwin Sands, off
Kent, England, rolling over and becoming a wreck. The crew were rescued by the boat of Margarida, which had been kept from stranding.[1][2]
The steamer was beached/wrecked on Gower Rocks in bad weather at the foot of the
Pwlldu Head cliff, located near
SwanseaWales,
United Kingdom, and was abandoned. Refloated in July 1919 and towed to Swansea.[3][4]
The forward half of the steamer (she had been cut in two to facilitate passage through the
Welland Canal) foundered in a severe snowstorm in
Lake Ontario five miles (8.0 km) south of Duck Island. Lost with all 11 hands.[8]
The cargo ship collided with a warship and sank in the
North Sea 20 nautical miles (37 km) north of the mouth of the
River Tyne. Her crew were rescued.[14]
Out of service and anchored with no one on board in the harbor at
Metlakatla in
Southeast Alaska, the 11-ton, 35.7-foot (10.9 m)
fishing vessel broke loose from her anchorage during a
gale and drifted onto a
reef in the harbor, where waves battered her to pieces.[19]
The cargo ship ran aground in dense fog on the
Île d'Yeu,
Vendée. Salvage efforts were abandoned on 2 January 1919 because she had rolled on her side and was breaking up.[15][26]
The Lake-class cargo ship stranded on the rocks about one mile (1.6 km) west of
