The Storm at Ryde, Tuesday, January 18: damage to the railway pier, 1881. 'The great tempest of east wind and snow, on Tuesday last week, visited both shores of the Thames estuary, about South-end and Sheerness, with extreme violence; and it was felt equally at Yarmouth, Harwich, and Dover, and on the Channel coast and in the Solent, as far as Ryde. Some Illustrations of its effects in those places are therefore added to the Sketches taken by our Artists the same day in London and the metropolitan suburbs, which occupy a large part of our Journal...Ryde suffered a serious loss. Two large colliers, the Havelock and the John Ward, were blown against the iron railway pier, quite recently erected, and carried away about 200 ft. of the structure. Telegraph posts were blown down, and there was little or no communication with other places in the Isle of Wight'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
