  • When 135 of the 549 Passengers and Crew Aboard the Morro Castle Died
    When 135 of the 549 passengers and crew aboard the Morro Castle died in a fire at sea, their bodies were placed in a temporary morgue at the Sea Girt National Guard Camp. Exactly where this had been located within the camp had remained a mystery. Until now. International News Photos, Inc. of the SS Morro Castle on fire, September 8, 1934. by Joseph G. Bilby At 3:00 A.M. on September 8, 1934, a fire was discovered aboard the cruise ship Morro Castle, then on its way to New York City from Havana, Cuba. Within just half an hour, the ship was engulfed in flames and anchored to await assistance two miles off Sea Girt, New Jersey. Passengers and crew attempted to launch lifeboats, but only half the available boats ended up in the water. Desperate passengers and crewmen, some in life vests and others without, began to jump overboard into surging seas, where they grasped at floating deck chairs tossed off the ship in desperation. Finding the Sea Girt Morgue Joseph G. Bilby | www.GardenStateLegacy.com Issue 26 December 2014 New Jersey Governor A. Harry Moore was winding up the summer in the “governor’s cottage” at Sea Girt National Guard camp when he received news of the unfolding disaster. Also at the camp for its annual training was the African-American 1st Separate Battalion, New Jersey State Militia, which the Governor dispatched to the beach to help in rescue operations. Moore himself courageously flew off the camp parade ground in the observer seat of a National Guard airplane to mark survivors floating around the burning ship for rescue boats, which were on their way from Manasquan inlet.

  • From Steamboat Inspection Service to US Coast Guard
    From Steamboat Inspection Service to U.S. Coast Guard: Marine Safety in the United States from 1838‐1946 By PACS Barbara Voulgaris The American push westwards in the late 18th and early 19th centuries required increasing amounts of goods and services that only a new transport infrastructure could provide. As state and local governments and private companies funded road improvements and new road construction, this period came to be known as the ‘Transportation Revolution.’ Artist’s rendition of Robert Fulton’s steamboat Clermont. Commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Robert_Fulton. The transport of people and goods by animal power, however, proved slow and expensive. In 1797, Robert Fulton sent to President George Washington a copy of his “Treatise on Canal Navigation,” in which he suggested canal navigation between Philadelphia and Lake Erie. Fulton’s 1807 launching of the North River steamboat, more commonly known as Clermont, would have a dramatic affect on nearly every aspect of life in the new nation. It took Clermont 62 hours to steam from New York City to Albany, New York on its maiden voyage, in the process becoming the first commercially‐successful steamship built in the U.S. A local publication described the intense local reaction to the journey: The surprise and dismay excited among the crews of [other river] vessels by the appearance of the steamer was extreme. These simple people, the majority of whom had heard nothing of Fulton’s experiments, beheld what they supposed to be a huge monster, vomiting fire and smoke from its throat, lashing the water with its fins, and shaking the river with its roar, approaching rapidly in the very face of both wind and tide.

  • Every Man for Himself! Gender, Norms and Survival in Maritime Disasters
    IFN Working Paper No. 913, 2012 Every Man for Himself! Gender, Norms and Survival in Maritime Disasters Mikael Elinder and Oscar Erixson Research Institute of Industrial Economics P.O. Box 55665 SE-102 15 Stockholm, Sweden [email protected] www.ifn.se Every man for himself! Gender, Norms and Survival in Maritime Disasters* Mikael Elinder, Oscar Erixson April 2, 2012 Abstract Since the sinking of the Titanic, there has been a widespread belief that the social norm of ‘women and children first’ gives women a survival advantage over men in maritime disasters, and that captains and crew give priority to passengers. We analyze a database of 18 maritime disasters spanning three centuries, covering the fate of over 15,000 individuals of more than 30 nationalities. Our results provide a new picture of maritime disasters. Women have a distinct survival disadvantage compared to men. Captains and crew survive at a significantly higher rate than passengers. We also find that the captain has the power to enforce normative behavior, that the gender gap in survival rates has declined, that women have a larger disadvantage in British shipwrecks, and that there seems to be no association between duration of a disaster and the impact of social norms. Taken together, our findings show that behavior in life-and-death situation is best captured by the expression ‘Every man for himself’. Key words: Social norms, Disaster, Women and children first, Mortality, High stakes JEL Codes: C70, D63, D81, J16 Mikael Elinder: Uppsala Center for Fiscal Studies, Department of Economics, Uppsala University and the Research Institute of Industrial Economics (IFN), Stockholm Oscar Erixson: Uppsala Center for Fiscal Studies, Department of Economics, Uppsala University Corresponding author: Mikael Elinder, Department of Economics, Uppsala University, P.O.

Craig ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS No one ever achieves his or her dreams alone. Pursuing a master’s in my early sixties made that crystal clear. Without the encouragement, support, and flexibility from so many wonderful people, however, the pursuit would have been long and lonely. The grad school staff at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg, including Eric Douthirt, Sue Ryan, Donna Knudsen, and Jennifer Woroner in HR often worked miracles on my behalf. The Florida Studies Program staff, faculty, and students proved to be the best support group a grad-school candidate could have. My graduate advisor, Dr. Gary Mormino who, over countless cups of coffee, offered valuable counsel and support, wisdom and encouragement, and who introduced me to George Snow Hill. Jim Schnur, archivist extraordinaire, lifted the veil on the mystery of research, and taught me the value of ephemera.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Viorel Mionel Dark tourism and thanatourism: Distinct tourism typologies or simple analytical tools? Abstract Auschwitz-Birkenau is the main example provided by researchers whenever dark tourism and thana- tourism are used as principal analytical concepts. Th eoretically, this example is considered one of the darkest tourism sites. Focusing on this kind of places, as well as on other places with diff erent degrees of authenticity, macabre, emotions and tourism motivation, this study aims to research whether dark tourism and thanatourism are a distinct type of tourism or they only represent analytical tools. Start- ing with a quick look at the history of the concept that leads to some theoretical aspects (terminology, defi nitions, classifi cation, spectrums and controversies), conceptual research meant to explain the typol- ogy/instrument dilemma has been done. Th e results of the research reveal that this domain is still very new, with many theoretical controversies and obstacles, and dark tourism and thanatourism are only analytical tools which help us understand the evolution of the current patrimonial and cultural tourism. Moreover, our data shows that dark tourism includes thanatourism, but it does not create a distinct, clearly defi ned form of tourism. Th e usefulness of this analytical tool is not the ultimate assertion of a distinct form of tourism, but to adapt existing and future sites to the needs and motivations of tourists. Key words: dark tourism;
