PS Normandy : ウィキペディア英語版
PS Normandy

PS ''Normandy'' was a British paddle-wheel mail steamer operating on the Southampton - Guernsey - Jersey route, which sank 20 miles from The Needles in the English Channel in the night of 17 March 1870 after colliding at around 03:30 with steamship ''Mary'', a propeller steamer carrying 500 tons of maize from Odessa to London.〔Annual Register (March 1870, XVII Fatal accident to a Channel Islands Steamer ), Dodsley, 1871, p. 26-29〕
==Incident summary==
It carried Captain Harvey with 28 crewmen, including chief mate J.Ockleford, one stewardess, and 31 passengers, among which 12 were women.〔 The Normandy could launch only the two portside lifeboats, the large starboard lifeboat having been damaged by the collision.〔Nautical magazine, Volume 39, (Nautical topics of the day ), Brown, Son and Ferguson, 1870 p.215-217〕 One lifeboat was launched from Steamer Mary, without reaching the Normandy.〔
The heroism of the Captain, who died after having ensured that the passengers would be first to abandon the ship, was praised by Victor Hugo,〔 who also recommended that London and South Western Railway should equip its ships with watertight bulkheads, with sufficient life jackets, and floating lights.〔Letter to the editor of the ''Star'', 5 avril 1870, in Actes et Paroles vol.4 p.262-263
