LIGHTSHIP GOES
down AFTER CRASH
Hedge Fence Craft in Vineyard
Haven Sinks Rapidly

Woods Hole, Mass, Nov. ~ Up
INC Hedge Fence lightship sank in
Vineyard Haven 10 minutes after
she was rammcd on her port quarter
by the Danish freighter NJ. c. Holm,
captain frizcll, commander of the
dictated marine marker, said today
when he and his crew of five mon
were landed here on the coast guard
patrol boat 1871.
lie blamed the freighcr for the
loss Of the lightship and said that
weather conditions were ideal and
the sea smooth when the collision
occurred. The lightship was rammed
at 1890 o'clock last night, he said,
and had disappeared below the sur
face at 1910.
Captain Fri2Cll told coast guards
men at the local station that he and
his crew were able TO launch their
lifeboat before the lightship sank
and that the frcightcr aided them
by throwing over a line. When the
NJ. {. HOlm's captain informed the
Iightship crew that they would have
to go TO New York if they boarded
the frcighter, they cut the lifcboat
loose and started to row TO the shore,
10 miles away. The lightship crew
were less than two miles from land
when the lifeboat was picked up by
the coast guard patrol boat 1871.
The NJ. c. Holm, of about 5000
tons, escaped from the head-on COL
lision with a slightly damaged bow,
she remained on the scene for an
hour after the crash before getting
underway. The froghter, bound for
New York, sailed from Boston yes
terday afternoon,
Radio messages from the Danish
steamer, signed by J. c. Anderson,
master and pilot, and announcing
the sinking of the lightship, were
picked up at Vineyard Haven short
ly before midnight. Subsequent mes
sages from the 1reightcr stated that
the lightship's crew had manned
their lifeboat but had refused to
come aboard the Danish, ship.
Soon after the first message was
received here, the coast guard cutter
Acushnet left her base. She reached
the scene inside Of an hour and an
chored over the lightship station.
Soon after the Acushnet arrived,
the freightcr got under way. The
lightship crew then abandoned their
post and started the long row 10
shore.
The Inflated lightship, which
guarded the dreaded shoals off the
entrance 10 Vineyard Haven, was
launched at Quincy in March 1905.
She was 1855 feet nine inches in
length and had a displacement ca
pacity Of $50 tons. She was rugged
with two lantern masts and a jiEgor-
mast and was Of the spar deck type
with two lantern houses. She car
ried special apparatus for hosting
lens, lantcrs, fog signal gear and
other designations.
Hedge Fence shoal is n sunkcn
sand strip that runs lcngthwisc off
the main ship channel off the en-
trance to Vineyard Haven harbor. 1t
is about three miles in length and
rises like mountain out of the
deep water. The greatest depth Of
water over the shoals is about eight
feet.
