The Marchioness investigates when 51 people lost their lives when the 'Bowbelle' dredger collided with this passenger boat.
Did the dredger travel at maximum speed in the dark with inadequate lighting? Could the number of young lives lost so close to the shore have been reduced if different regulations were in force at the time of the disaster?
The Marchioness is part of the BBC education series, Disaster - series 3, investigating health and safety disasters throughout history.
