A Bridge near Douglas in the Isle of Man
Date made: 01-04-1783
Description: "Douglas Bridge...is lately broken down by the rapidity of the river. A woman, who was going over it, with a bottle of Brandy in her hand, just when the accident happened, was saved by the stiffness of her hoop petticoat, which kept her above water.” (Waldron, The History and Description of the Isle of Man, 1726, M 00733)
