English: Remains of the Old London and Ramsgate Steamer, the Little Western. Illustration for The Illustrated London News, 1 July 1876.
Wreck of the steamship Little Western The hulk was run into by the steamship Ryhope ( United Kingdom) and sank off Tilbury Fort, Essex. Refer "Shipping". Newcastle Courant. No. 10510. Newcastle upon Tyne. 2 June 1876. THE LITTLE WESTERN. The once-celebrated Ramsgate steamer, Little Western, which ran for many years between London and Ramsgate, is at last, after many vicissitudes, in the unhappy condition shown in our engraving. "To what base uses we may return." The property of the General Steam Navigation Company, and under the command of Captain James Corbin, she was for many years the favourite vessel on the London, Margate, and Ramsgate station. Her first appearance in Ramsgate Harbour, about thirty years ago, created quite a sensation, and she was visited by throngs of persons anxious to inspect the luxurious and sumptuous fittings of her cabins and saloon. Latterly employed as a coal hulk lying below Gravesend, she was conspicuous by the gilded serpent still remaining on her bows. Recently the vessel was cut down by a screw steamer, and, becoming a total wreck, was sold by auction a few days back. |
