 Plymouth Sound Cruising - Zero
The skipper of the bowbelle was not drunk or charged with being drunk at the time of the incident.

The bowbell was a large ship, and would not handle well int he confines of the thames, upon seeing the marchioness all it could have done was to sound a warning. It also had poor vision from the bridge.

The official report also blamed poor lookouts on both vessels for the collision, and criticised the owners and managers of both vessels for failing to properly instruct and monitor their crews.
