From The Cheshire Observer of 3 April 1875: "FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT ON THE DEE. Mr. J. Tatlock, city coroner, held an inquest at the Wellington Inn, Chester, on Monday, on the body of Joseph Crimes, aged 28, wagon-maker, who was found drowned in the River Dee on Sunday. The particulars of the fatal accident can be gleaned from the following evidence: Joseph Sconce, of 44, Greenway-street, shipwright, said: I knew the deceased; his name was Joseph Crimes. He was about 28 years of age, and a wagon-maker by trade - a joureneyman. Yesterday aftrenoon about four o'clock deceased and I took a small pleasure boat from Stubbs to go up the river. It was not outrigged. It was a pair oared boat. We had got up as far as Boughton fords when we saw a friend of deceased's in a boat coming down the river. We were turning the boat round to go down the river with the friend. I was pulling both oars and deceased was steering. I was pulling one oar and backing the other one to turn the boat round when she swamped. She took water in over the side and filled with water. The boat sank and we were both in the water, where the river is about fourteen feet deep. Deceased could not swim. I could. We were in the centre of the river. I laid hold of deceased by the arm and I had an oar in my hand which I told him to take hold of, but he would not. I could not help him.... The jury returned a verdict that the deceased was "Accidentally drowned".
