On the morning of Monday 16th January 1860, between the hours of five and six o'clock, a man named Joseph Edgar was employed at one of the steam coal drops on the Boal. Unfortunately as he tipped the bucket, he fell onto the deck of the vessel being unloaded.
"He died immediately, his brains being literally dashed out."
A verdict of accidental death was recorded.
