Tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Fire Toll in New York
Fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company factory on Washington Place and Greene Street left 145 known dead with 76 identified. Foremen found two young women in a sidewalk vault light, others discovered on the ninth and fifth floors as morgues report bodies stacked on coffins, some with jewelry and a significant sum found in a victim’s stocking. Widows and orphans rise in sorrow as Andrew Carnegie helps seed a relief fund nearing 14 900 dollars.
