The Morrissy Bridge was not hit again until the summer of 1967. On a warm Sunday in June, the ship ’Liquilassie’ hit the south span of the bridge. The draw span was not damaged this time. The damage to the south span was $150,000. It was thought the span would not hold and it would fall into the river.
The ‘Liquilassie’ was coming from the Fraser Company Limited. It was heading for the Bathurst Power and Paper Company. It was also damaged in the accident. The ship had to pull itself free from the bridge. The Captain had taken his ship through the bridge four times before this accident happened. He said that the fast-moving waters had pulled his ship into the bridge.
