"The ship struck." (p. 75)
It strikes not a rock but a small nebula which, at the ship's speed, is:
"...a well-nigh solid wall." (p. 76)
Despite their many differences, we cannot avoid the comparison between spacefaring and seafaring. Poul Anderson adds "timefaring." The time dilated spaceship is perhaps at a crossroads between spacefaring and timefaring.
