This link gives some very vivid details of this forgotten tragedy.

For those not quite sure where this was, the boat yard was roughly where the old Tesco was, so more Rotherham centre than Masborough.
Some say kempo was the chief boat builder.
Lots of children died in local mining disasters as well, mainly boys but some girls too. That "white privilege" eh?
