Island Mine Disaster Details Lieutenants Report
Lieutenant Raymond led a nine man detachment in two gangs to move spherical mines away from the water near the island. Police were kept off the island as civil authorities were not summoned. Engineer Hiram Vaughn from Syracuse is among the victims and Sergeant Maurice McGrath, a married father of five, led the work on site. Two civilians, laborer James A. Ryan and teamster Peter Brennan, are missing. A preliminary theory blames a mine dropping during unloading for the catastrophe.
