Here's a fresh disaster I'd never heard of before. 1,000 people dead in NY harbor just 100 years ago. Are there any books on the General Slocum? http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/new_york_new_york/remember_the_general_sl...

I know I've seen mention of one. I'll look it up.

Found it. It's called Ship Ablaze. I make no promises as to quality though -- I haven't actually read it, just seen it in my book recommendations.

I have Ship Ablaze, but haven't read it, beyond the 50 pages I usually read when deciding to buy a book.
