River Dee Ferry Boat Disaster : ウィキペディア英語版 | River Dee Ferry Boat Disaster
The River Dee Ferry Boat Disaster, 5 April 1876, drowned 32 people in the mouth of the River Dee, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. ==Context== The city of Aberdeen lies at the mouth of the River Dee. At the time of the disaster, on the south bank was the separate Royal Burgh of Torry; in 1891 this was incorporated into Aberdeen. 5 April was a public holiday, so many people were not working. There was a fair in Torry and the Bay of Nigg, and large numbers of people were crossing the River Dee by ferry, heading for the holiday fair. The ferry operated on a pulley system, attached by a rope at each end to either bank, allowing it to be pulled across the river, without the need for an engine, sails or rudder on the boat.
