Local authorities were forced to stop metro’s itineraries (DLR) in Docklands due to the fire. Eight vehicles of the fire department and 40 men were at the fire scene to stop the fire from expanding.
The sailing ship had been constructed in 1869 and carried wool from Australia and tea from China till 1938 when it made its last trip.
