Ocean Law Defied By Morse Tug In Coast Vessel Disaster
The Post reports Morse & Co tug 5 W Morse arrived in Boston with three barges from Norfolk New York Coast. Two barges, David Brown and Niphon, were lost in a October gale near the Delaware capes resulting in five deaths. The Niphon crew struggled aboard the tug after the sinking, one seaman perished, and the captain and another crewman were rescued. No reports reached Norfolk Boston or New York maritime exchanges, prompting accusations of a grave misdemeanor by the tug officers for omitting the disaster. The cargoes were bound for Mystic Wharf and the incident remains under scrutiny as the Morse vessel heads to Bath Maine.
