On the 3rd September, 1878, a pleasure steamer called The Princess Alice collided with a steam collier on the Thames. The Princess Alice went down with the loss of 527 lives.

Elizabeth Stride, a prostitute murdered by Jack The Ripper, had lied to most people saying that she had lost her husband and two of her children in the Princess Alice disaster. Other records proved her claims to be false.
