  • Professor Kemp1 has revisited the circumstances in which the Princess Alice crossed ahead of, and was run down by, the oncoming Bywell Castle in 1878. This note focuses on the seamanship of the manoeuvre made by the Bywell Castle in the agony of the moment before collision. This manoeuvre was judged to be wrong at the time. The note concludes by considering how this manoeuvre would be judged today in the light of the seamanship required by Rule 17 of Colregs 1972 and draws attention to proposals made by Captain Phillip Colomb to the Thames Traffic Committee in 1879.
