Mayakovsky sank in the Daugava River that bisects Riga, not more than {{convert|15|m}} from the present day site of the Stone Bridge. A total of 147 people died, including 48 children. It was the deadliest peacetime disaster in Soviet Latvian history. At the time, Latvia was a republic within the Soviet Union, under the rule of Joseph Stalin, and news of the disaster was not put in the state-controlled press. On August 19, 2011, almost 20 years after the breakup of the Soviet Union and the Republic of Latvia regaining its independence, a memorial plaque was dedicated at the Stone Bridge (the Akmens tilts) in memory of the victims.
