 Some sources give the location where his body was exhibited as Tilbury Ness, but this may be an alternative name for the same place.There is some uncertainty as to whether his body was displayed at what is now called Coalhouse Point or at a site a few hundred yards up stream, close to the present Tilbury Docks.On 31 January 1953, the low-lying areas of Thurrock were inundated by the North Sea flood of 1953.
