Dangerous Atlas Powder Cargo Heads to Aspinwall
A Jersey captain sails the brig Genorita with 2008 cases of atlas powder, an explosive blend used for canal digging. Captain Wiltbank argues safety, but the cargo’s nitroglycerin content and fuse-armed cartridges pose extreme risk to ships, crews, and the Panama Canal project.
