[4] On 19 September 1898 she was hit by her sister ship Dresden which was inward bound to Goole.

In October 1908 she was in collision with the British brigantine Enterprise of Folkestone, and caused her to sink.

[6] On 28 August 1912 she was anchored midstream in Goole waiting to enter the lock, when a strong southerly wind caused her to sheer into her sister ship Ralph Creyke which was outbound with a full cargo of coal.

Derwent’s anchor chain became caught in Ralph Creyke’s propeller and her engines were stopped.

The accident required Ralph Creyke to be drydocked to remove the chain.
