The 'Nigerstroom' docks. The Dutch motor vessel Nigerstroom , which was in collision with the French steamer Ernest L Dawson in mid-channel on Saturday, was brought into the King George V Graving Dock at Southampton today (Monday). Her port bow was badly holed in the collision and she has settled so that her stern is high out of the water. Photo shows, the 'Nigerstroom' with a gaping hole in her bowels, in the King , George V Graving Dock at Southampton today (Monday). 26 August 1946
