Chaos at Genoa as ship with 90 tons powder explodes
From the Hague and Amsterdam Courants dated March 20 to March 22 we learn a Genoa accident caused a ship loaded with powder to burst into flames. The great cable failed, fires spread through docks, and nearby fortifications suffered damage while townsfolk fled to mountains. Maritime movements include Swedish, Danish, Russian and French interests, with fleets preparing for North Sea and Baltic operations and ambassadors visiting courts.
