Since the earliest days of water navigation there have been occasions when, despite the best efforts of the crews, things have gone wrong and vessels and lives have been lost. This gallery contains photographs of the aftermath of just some of the incidents and accidents which have caused casualties on Yorkshire’s waterways. 

Where possible we have described what you see in the photographs and when they were taken. If you can add to that knowledge please get in touch using the form below.
