==Incidents==

* {{SS|Daphne|1883|6}} sank moments after her launching at a [[shipyard]] in [[Govan]], Glasgow, Scotland on 3 July 1883. As ''Daphne'' moved into the river, the anchors failed to stop the ship's forward progress. The [[starboard]] anchor moved only {{convert|6|-|7|yd|m}}, but the port anchor was dragged {{convert|60|yd}}. The current of the river caught ''Daphne'' and flipped it onto its [[port (nautical)|port]] side, sinking it in deep water.<ref name="scotsman">{{cite web |url=http://www.scotsman.com/news/sudden-sinking-of-a-steamship-1-466504 |title=Sudden sinking of a steamship |work=[[The Scotsman]] |date=15 May 2006|access-date=18 March 2013}}</ref> 124 died including many young boys, some of whose relatives were there on shore.
