Jinxed Carl Fritzen Ship Traced From Portland to Seattle
Portland reports revive sea legends of the jinxed Carl Fritzen freighter after a series of mishaps aboard the vessel. The ill master hanged himself in California, followed by a heart attack among the steward, and the chief engineer and mate faced suspensions or reliefs. A new crew arrived from Germany as the ship moved to load grain in Astoria and Portland, then was redirected toward Seattle with 11,000 tons aboard. The new officers avoided labeling the voyage a jinx.
