Deal History Part 72; Death in the Channel

[@lindalong5052]

What a tragic story.,Dave . My thoughts,as a dedicated landlubber, are, why not anchor up in thick fog in a busy channel?

Hang on a minute... if the W.A.Scholten was on it's way to New York, heading 'up the Channel' from Rotterdam, why on earth was it anywhere near Deal?

With the thick fog conditions I should gather like many other vessels she was coming in to anchor until conditions improved
