U S says no prosecution over sinking of Vestris
United States Commissioner Francis A. ONeill states the U S cannot prosecute over the Vestris disaster near Virginia Capes in which 113 lives were lost. He aligns with nautical experts in faulting Captain Carey for not sending an SOS and criticizes ship life-saving and organizational failures. The Vestris being British owned raises questions about American inspection exemptions.
