 One of the blade of the "Moorabool's" propeller was embedded in the side of the "Queen Bee", end the remaining blades were more or less damaged.The damage to the Moorabool ran into £1500, and that to the Queen Bee £460

A Marine Court of Inquiry was set up to consider the circumstances surrounding the collision and it found that the "Queen Bee" was berthing at the Dyke while there was a strong flood tide and a strong westerly wind prevailed.It overshot the berth, and the "Moorabool", which was moving out stern first.
