The Times, Wednesday, Jan 24, 1866; pg. 12; Issue 25403; col F THE LOSS OF THE LONDON. - The conviction gains ground among the maritime population of Plymouth that the loss of the ill-fated ship London is mainly to be attributed to her having been overweighted. As she lay in the Sound it was noticed by scores of seamen that she lay low in the water "like a collier," and, although no copy of her manifest can be procured in the port, it is generally believed that she had on board many hundred tons of iron - railway iron probably - which lay as dead weight, bringing her main deck almost to the level of the water. To her already heavy cargo 50 tons of coals, in bags, were added while she lay in the Sound, and these were placed round her funnel. When the ship rolled they broke adrift, and the coals being washed down the scupper holes interfered greatly with the working of the pumps. Had the London been out a month she might possibly have met with impunity a gale similar to that in which she foundered, for the daily consumption of coal, water, and stores would have lightened her materially, and she would have ridden over, instead of forcing herself through, the tremendous waves she encountered. But as she entered the Bay of Biscay the iron weighed her down with considerable force, and she plunged into rather than upon the mountains of water which came driving on. The excessive loading, with a cargo which would have involved a tremendous strain for the tightest and most buoyant of wooden ships, dragged down the iron-case to a common destruction. The practice of carrying such dangerous cargo in passenger ships is condemned by nautical men, and legislation to prevent it is required. The accusation made against Captain MARTIN that he did not use all possible exertions to save his crew, by cutting away the masts and forming rafts, is manifestly unjust. The London was fitted with telescopic iron masts from deck to truck, and these could not be cut away by any appliances on board. Supposing it to have been possible for a raft to have been constructed upon a deck incessantly swamped by heavy seas, to have launched and kept afloat so frail a craft and have kept passengers upon her, still there was this good excuse for the experiment not being tried - there was no wood aboard with which a raft could have been built. Her top gear was totally insufficient for the purpose, her spars on deck had been washed overboard, her spare spars were inaccessible below, and to have ripped off the deck timbers would have caused the ship instantly to go down. How far it was wise to place iron masts in an iron ship, and to have no material accessible for the construction of rafts, is a question bearing on the future rather than the past. A portable life-raft, such as has been often tested with success, would probably have saved many lives. Captain MARTIN has been blamed for putting to sea on the 6th of January, when forewarned by the barometer of the gale of the 11th. If he were unwise in so doing, how much more dangerous was the act of the captain of the Union Company's Cape mail steamer Norseman, which left the Sound with 59 passengers on the 10th in the very teeth of the storm! It is a serious matter for such a ship to be detained at a port; such detention would have involved in the case of the London a loss of some 60L. per day. - Western Morning News. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Times, Wednesday, Jan 24, 1866; pg. 6; Issue 25403; col F THE LOSS OF THE LONDON. ---------------------- Yesterday, a number of gentlemen, sympathizing with the bereaved families of the unfortunate persons who perished in the Australian steamer London, sought and obtained an interview with the Lord Mayor at the Mansion-house, with the view to interest his Lordship, and through him the inhabitants of the metropolis at large, in setting on foot a public subscription on behalf of the sufferers. The crew of the vessel numbered about 80 men in all, of whom 16 were saved, and it is for the relief of the wives and families or aged parents of the lost 64 in the first instance, that it is now proposed to raise a fund, and for those of the passengers, or such of them as may need assistance, there being, it is said, many distressing cases in both categories. The deputation consisted of Mr. William HICKSON, Chairman of the Poplar Board of Guardians, and General Superintendent of the East and West India Docks; Mr. Joseph WHITE, Mr. Joseph TAYLOR, Mr. Dresser ROGERS, Mr. L*CEY, Mr. George RILEY, Mr. C. J. NUNN (of Melbourne), Mr. W. M. HITCHCOCK (of Geelong), Mr. Felix SPIERS (SPIERS and POND), Mr. R. B. WHITESIDE, Mr. T. D. CARTER, Mr. Richard BRETT, Secretary to the Master Mariners' Society, Mr. Edward Henry FRENCH (Southend), Mr. Nicholas LAKE, and others. Mr. HICKSON, addressing the Lord Mayor, pointed out the grievous extent to which the calamity had affected a great number of persons in the eastern parts of the metropolis. The loss of the London with her crew, he said, had been felt almost as a national misfortune, but only those familiar with that class of the population could estimate fully the amount of personal and collective suffering which it had entailed upon the bereaved families. As Chairman of the Board of Guardians of the Poplar District, he could testify to the widespread desolation which the disaster had inflicted upon it. The Messrs. WIGRAM, owners of the ill-fated ship, had already considerately undertaken to pay the allotment notes due to the crew up to the end of February, but the object of the deputation was to ask the Lord Mayor whether he did not consider the wives and children and the aged parents of the lost mariners, who were their sole support, had a legitimate claim upon the practical sympathies of the public. If his Lordship coincided with them they felt assured that the weight of his approval and co-operation must call forth such a popular response as would materially alleviate the sufferings of a large class of the river-side population. The LORD MAYOR, addressing the deputation, said, - I think it is scarcely necessary for me, as Chief Magistrate, to say that, in common with, I may say, the civilized world, I deeply deplore this great calamity; not only in consideration of those who have been called away and are now beyond our sympathy, but of those who are left behind. You have put to me a pointed question, and I think as a practical citizen I am bound to give you a pointed answer. You ask me whether I do not think the unhappy and dependent survivors of those who perished on this lamentable occasion are entitled to public sympathy. I think we have all abundant reason to know that there never was perhaps a great calamity of any kind which befell any considerable number of our countrymen engaged either in commercial or mercantile enterprise, or in manufacturing pursuits, that did not enlist the sympathy, the deeply felt sympathy, of the citizens of London. That these poor unhappy sufferers are not only entitled to but will receive the cordial sympathy of the public, I have not the remotest doubt. As far as I am personally concerned, in my humble way, though the duties I have to discharge are multifarious, and many of them pressing, nothing will give me greater pleasure than to have an opportunity of serving this good cause in any way I may be able; but I think we ought to define our objects - to tell the public what we are going to do and what we require; because it occasionally happens when the community are appealed to in reference to some great calamity such as this, so generous and sympathizing are they, that they not only respond but respond to a larger amount than is really wanted. You may command me in any way you please in this matter, but I hope you will see the force of my observation, and if you will permit me to place a donation on your list as a commencement, I shall be happy to assist these unhappy persons either by my purse, in my person, or by my position. (Hear, hear.) I am sure the accounts we have read and heard from day to day of the courage and devotion of the ill-fated persons whom Providence summoned away so unexpectedly to their rest on the occasion of this great disaster must make us all still prouder of our countrymen and countrywomen. (Hear, hear.) I think you had better form yourselves into a working committee in your district, and when you have done that any moneys the public may be disposed to send to the Mansion-house will be taken care of, but I advise you to look at the matter in a practical way. Mr. HICKSON intimated that so far their proceedings had only been preliminary, and the encouraging reception they had received from the Lord Mayor would give a stimulus to exertion on their part in this good work. The deputation then withdrew, and, before leaving the Mansion-house, appointed a committee for raising subscriptions, consisting of Mr. R. BRETT, 52, Trinity-square; Mr. G. C. OKE, Mansion-house; Mr. Joshua WHITE, High-street, Borough; Mr. Dresser ROGERS, Town-hall-chambers, Southwark; Mr. R. B. WHITESIDE, 49, Lime-street; Mr. Joseph TAYLOR, 42, Eastcheap; Mr. H. Rumsey FORSTER, Brunswick-square; Mr. E. H. FRENCH, Southend and Clerkenwell; Mr. N. LAKE, 1, Adelaide-place, London-bridge; Mr. T. D. CARTER, 12, Dartmouth-street, Westminster; Mr. C. J. NUNN, 9, Sise-lane, city, and Melbourne; and Mr. W. N. HITCHCOCK, county-chambers, Cornhill, and Geelong, Australia. The following donations were announced: - The Lord Mayor, 21L.; Mr. Joseph WHITE, 10L. 10s.; Messrs. BRIGHT and HITCHCOCKS, of Geelong, 10L. 10s.; Mr. William HICKSON, 5L. 5s.; Mr. Joseph TAYLOR, 5L. 5s.; Mr. C. J. NUNN, of Melbourne, 5L. 5s.; Mr. Richard BRETT, 2L. 2s.; Mr. Nicholas LAKE, 2L. 2s.; Mr. H. Rumsey FORSTER, 2L. 2s.; and Mr. E. H. FRENCH, 1L. 1s. In addition to the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, the undermentioned bankers have intimated their readiness to receive subscriptions for the objects in view:- Messrs. SMITH, PAYNE, and SMITHS; Messrs. BARNETT, HOARES, HANBURYS, and LLOYD; the Consolidated Bank (London, Manchester, and Norwich); and the various branches of the Alliance Bank of Liverpool. Among the persons present at the interview was the young seaman KING, who acted as coxswain to the pinnace after leaving the ill-fated vessel with 15 persons besides himself, and who steered the boat with such admirable skill until they were taken on board the Italian ship. Sir Robert CARDEN, to whom the young man had been introduced in the Justice-room, stated that he also served as a seaman on board the Duncan Dunbar when she was wrecked. He was treated with great respect by all present. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Times, Monday, Jan 22, 1866; pg. 6; Issue 25401; col C TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, - The loss of the steamer London and the consequent sacrifice of 220 lives is stated to have been caused through the engine-room hatch having been swept away by the force of the heavy seas which broke over the vessel, and the absence of any effective means of preventing the ingress of the volumes of water which poured down the aperture. I would beg to suggest that in future the precaution should be taken of fixing wrought-iron sliding shutters beneath the deck at all the hatchways, so that by means of a chain and windlass, they could be at once closed in case of accident to any of the hatches, and afford opportunity for repair of the same. Had the London possessed this simple precaution the probability is that the vessel would have weathered the storm. These iron shutters or doors could be made, if necessary, to roll up when not in use, occupying but little space beneath the deck, on the principle of revolving shutters invented by Sir Isambert BRUNEL. The foundering of the steamer Amalia on the 12th inst. is attributed to the want of proper means of closing the bunkers, the lids having been washed overboard. These shutters would at once have afforded the means of remedying the loss. I am, Sir, yours obediently, EDWARD WOOD. Manchester, Jan. 19. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Times, Monday, Jan 22, 1866; pg. 6; Issue 25401; col B TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, - I suppose an investigation will be instituted into the cause of the loss of the London, with 220 lives. It will be needless to censure the captain, who died like a true British sailor at his post, refusing to desert his passengers. He did, I have no doubt, all a seaman could do for the safety of his charge. Let the inquiry be into the construction of the ship - as to dimensions, fastenings, &c. - when I have little doubt it will be found that her dimensions were such as to render her totally unfit to contend with an ordinary gale of wind and consequent high sea. Indeed, when we see a small boat with 16 people on board ride safely over the waves we cannot understand why a large ship, apparently in good order and well equipped, should succumb. Something must be radically wrong in her construction or stowage. It is a melancholy fact that within the last few years a much larger proportion of ships exposed to severe weather have given in than occurred at any previous time, and to a nautical man the cause is obvious. The ships at present built are of too great a length as compared with their breadth, also the long, fine ends, which have no buoyancy, make them unseakindly and dangerous sea boats. When a seaman is loading a vessel he always puts the dead weight in the middle, leaving the ends either empty, or stowed with light material - thus making the vessel buoyant and inclined to ride easily on the wave. But this system of building the vessels with long narrow ends, having little displacement in proportion to their weight, is acting in diametrical opposition to all true science and practical seamanship. When a vessel thus constructed meets a heavy wave the long attenuated fore end, instead of rising on the wave, cuts into it, burying itself in the water, and either preventing the vessel from rising at all, or, when the buoyancy of the midship section is sufficient to lift the vessel on to the wave, not only has the original weight of the useless fore end to be raised, but it has to be dragged out of the superincumbent water, causing an exceedingly overdue strain on the fore part of the vessel, while, at the same time, a large body of water is thrown along the decks, sweeping boats and every movable thing before it; also, while rendering a ship unsafe in a heavy sea, as I have pointed out, those long narrow ends have another very serious disadvantage - they prevent the ship being kept close to the wind in a high sea, and render it impossible to heave her to with safety, causing her to lie open to the sea; so, consequently, she rolls heavily, and the waves make a clear run over her. Had the captain of the London been able to lay the vessel to, with her bow meeting the sea, she ought to have ridden safely through any gale she might encounter; but the construction of the ship rendered this impossible. We can all remember the Great Eastern, under similar circumstances to the London, how badly she behaved (to use a sailor's expression), and no means the commander could use would keep her bow to the sea, consequently she lay in the trough of the sea, and rolled to such a degree that she nearly foundered. The same thing occurs constantly on our north-east coast and in the North Sea during the winter gales every year, when the screw steamers, overrun by the waves, go down, and leave no trace. Hull, Leith, and many other ports have to deplore the loss of valuable vessels, and many more valuable lives, entirely arising from the cause I have pointed out, and such losses will be of constant occurrence while the present mode of draughting ships obtains. Draughtsmen at present appear entirely to ignore the necessity of giving to the vessels buoyancy, and fitting them to contend with the element on which they are borne. All safety is sacrificed in a futile attempts to gain speed, by a system of construction at once at variance with true science and also with all practical experience. It would be well if a commission was appointed to inquire into the best form to give a ship, together with the relative proportions to be borne between length, breadth, and depth of a vessel intented to contend successfully with the waters of the ocean, when lashed into fury by the tempest. That a mathematical proportion between these does exist, no one can doubt, and it is odd if no one has ability enough to find it out. I am your obedient servant, C. H. GREENHOW, Superintendent Mercantile Marine. North Shields, Jan. 19. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Times, Monday, Jan 22, 1866; pg. 6; Issue 25401; col B TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, - A leading article of your paper, in speaking of the loss of the London, appears to cast blame (which is wholly undeserved) on the survivors, implying that they merely looked after their own interests without considering the safety of the passengers. The fact is that the chance of the boat's being saved was considered so utterly hopeless by the captain, officers, and passengers that all held aloof, and, instead of a rush being made to the boat, there were only two men, the doctor's mate and a Dutch seaman, who tried in vain to enter. Some of the ladies were invited by the men to come with us, and would have done so, but I myself heard Captain MARTIN dissuade them from entering, for he said it would be only a more lingering death, as "the boat could not possibly live in such a sea." This was the only occasion on which his feelings overcame him, for through all dangers and difficulties his coolness and composure were remarkable. Had the passengers desired to leave the ship, the pinnace (holding 50) was a larger and safer boat; but none cared to venture in it. The article further infers that we left sooner than we should have done; but had we remained two minutes longer we should certainly have been engulfed with her, for the waves were washing over her poop, and the maindeck was sprung when we left her. The boat was built to hold 12, and she was crowded with 19. I remain, Sir, yours truly, WALTER M. EDWARDS, late Midshipman of the screw steamship London. Ashburnham House, Bedford, Jan. 19. *** We publish this letter, though we made no such imputations as the writer imagines. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Times, Friday, Jan 19, 1866; pg. 9; Issue 25399; col F TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, - It is time that our shipbuilders learnt to construct vessels for their safety as well as speed. The sad loss of the London steamer shows that the "crack liners" with their 60 days' passages, are not the safest in a great storm. That ill-fated steamer and the Amalia foundered from the sea breaking into their bunkers and engine-rooms. I would suggest that all sea-going steamers should have their engine-rooms protected by a movable half-inch wrought iron shield, which could be made to run out from just below the deck in case of need, and which would completely and securely cover the open space when the hatchways were carried away by the violence of the sea. Ventilation might be provided in a modified form, but surely some discomfort would be better than being drowned like kittens in a pail. These continued mishaps to "fine steamers" will make both passengers and underwriters prefer the old-fashioned "sailers". I am, Sir, yours, obediently, AN UNDERWRITER. Lloyds, E.C., Jan.18. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
