Bomb Placed By Host Causes Atlantic Liner Explosion
An at sea explosion on the Minnehaha, likely caused by a bomb placed aboard in New York, ripped the liner while near Halifax. Officers and crew battled flames for hours as two sailors were blown overboard, with later reports linking the act to Erich Muenter alias Frank Holt and accusing confederates. The fire burned through holds containing ammunition and munitions for the Allies, but by afternoon the flames were extinguished and the voyage continued toward England with precautions in place.
