Three Men Killed When Tug, Freighter Collide in Harbor
SAINT JOHN, NB March 20 - Three of the nine man crew of the tug Ocean Hawk II drowned here yesterday when the unbound freighter Maud knifed through the little craft and sent her splintered hull to the bottom.
The veteran tug men who perished in the mid-harbor collision were Lloyd Lamb, 66, a native of Parrsboro, NS, Thomas A. Sherrard 39 and Blanchard Ells, aged about 70, Port Greville, NS.
The big merchantman crashed into the tug amidships as the small craft veered toward her port bow to take aboard a hawser. Her sharp bow plates cut into the wooden-hulled tug, crushing and rolling her over.
Witnesses said there was a cloud of steam from the tug and when it lifted the tug had disappeared.
