The New York Times/1865/4/15/Collision
Collision.—The steamship La Favorete, while returning from a trial trip and passing up the East River, collided with the Catherine Ferry-boat Manhassett, as she was entering her slip on the Brooklyn side, doing considerable damage to the Manhassett, by tearing away a portion of the gentlemen's cable, and somewhat injuring the hull. Fortunately nobody was hurt.
