On September 8, 1934, the Morro Castle caught fire on its return trip from Havana to New York. The disaster was a potpourri of startling circumstances, from the captain dying to the ship being caught between two storms. Ultimately at least 137 people were killed and the ship was left as a burning hulk on a New Jersey beach. But that is just the beginning of the story.
