  • The Victoria steamboat disaster (also called The Victoria Day Disaster) was a Canadian maritime disaster where on May 24, 1881, the sternwheel passenger steamboat SS Victoria, capsized and sank in the Thames River near what is today Greenway Off-Leash Dog Park in Kensal Park, London, Ontario. The tragedy was one of the worst maritime disasters in Canada at the time, and made major headlines in places as far as England and the United States due to the severity of the disaster. An estimate between 182 and 198 is commonly regarded as the total death toll, although no record of the actual count of passengers was ever taken for those aboard during the Victoria's last voyage, and the vessel was dangerously overcrowded with upwards to 600 passengers. The disaster resulted in the gradual decline in popularity or trust of the riverboat services in London, Ontario through the remainder of the decade, and by the turn of the 20th century, ferries became obsolete when in 1895 the London Street Railway expanded its streetcar services to Byron.
