HC Deb 20 July 1888 vol 329 c40
MR. GOURLEY (Sunderland)

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether it is correct that the flagship Agincourt, under the command of Admiral Rowley, collided with the steamship Sestos; if so, will he state when and where the accident occurred, who is to blame, and the extent of damage to each ship?

THE FIRST LORD (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON) (Middlesex, Ealing)

, in reply, said, he had received no details beyond those which he communicated to the House yesterday. The damage to the Agincourt was slight; but he regretted to say that one of the marines was killed.
