I was always intrigued by the Morro Castle disaster. Your post is appreciated. The NJ Maritime Museum in Beach Heaven, today, September 8th, is presenting a program on the MC.

My father was one on those that made the trip to see it. He had some pretty good pictures, unfortunatley they were destroyed in a house fire. Pretty ironic.

That would have been so cool to have an original picture of it. There is a coin and stamp shop in Waretown that has a large picture of the MC and they won't sell it, but I keep trying.
