Wife woke me with, look at that smoke must be a fire, yeh says I, in morning we find it's the docks.
Damage is to the outer Queens wharf, supprised it not fallen down before looked rough for years. One of the large cranes has collapsed into the main channel, and a Russian survey ship got scortched, tied along side wharf, crew asleep. Fire started by Holagen lamps fire brigade think, not deen any further details.
