Fire at Sea: The Mysterious Tragedy of the Morro Castle

The "Morro Castle" was en route from Havana to New York on a stormy September night in 1934 when fire broke out on the luxury liner. Within an hour, hundreds were dead or struggling in the water. The fire's outbreak wasn't the only mysterious event in this tragedy. Hours earlier, Captain Robert Wilmott had died in his cabin. Had he been poisoned? Was the fire accidental? Drawing on interviews with the survivors and other research, Gallagher proposes convincing solutions to many unanswered questions. First published in 1959.
