Schooner and Yawl Match of the Royal Thames Yacht Club last Saturday: the Pantomine fouling the Mouse Light-Vessel, 1876. 'There was a very fine wind for the schooner and yawl matches of this club, sailed on Saturday last, from Gravesend round the Mouse Light-Ship and back...The Pantomime (151 tons, Mr. J. Starkey) made her first appearance in a match since lengthening 4 ft. by the stern. She did not appear to be improved as far as speed goes and, by some awkwardness, she sailed plump into the Mouse Light-Ship and got crippled... The Pantomime took more scope than the others for her gybe, and, in hauling up for the light-ship, sailed right into her stern, clearing away mizenmast, deckhouse, bulwarks, stanchion, and plank, but, oddly enough, only breaking her own bobstay. After the Pantomime got clear she followed the others up the river...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
