Liner Queen Elizabeth In WOMAN Collision With Freighter SOBS IN
DEEP DENT IN BOWS
Now York, July 29. The liner Queen Elizabeth suffered a dented starboard bow when she collided with an American froighter in dense fog off Coney Island today. The mishap occurred while a lifeboat drill was in progress on board the Queen Elizabeth. The 83,673-ton ship, which had sailed for Europe 90 minutes before with 1,959 passengers and a crew of 1,290, turned around and steamed back to her Hudson River pier with her starboard bow deeply dented.
