| BELOW: The photographs appearing below document an incident in which HMS
Peterel collided with something (most likely a submerged rock). Significant
bow damage can be seen and incidents such of this were not at all uncommon.
The Yangtse was probably the only place on earth that the captain of a
ship would not be court-martialed should a collision occur. |
