Event Description
Outdoor Events
Accidental deaths were a common feature of life in Victoria’s past. Some resulted from chance or fate, but most involved human error or mistaken judgments. This OCS team tour will feature sometimes gruesome stories of accidental death that received extensive newspaper coverage. They offer an unusual window into the daily lives of Victorians and the hazards they encountered on land and sea, at home, on the street, and
on the job. Some of these hazards seem familiar, and some we could never have imagined!
