Morgan Robertson Dies Standing Up in a New York Hotel
Morgan Robertson of New York, famed for sea romances, was found dead standing in his hotel room in Atlantic City. A paraldehyde bottle on the bureau led to initial overdose doubts, but a physician attributed death to heart disease. Robertson, once prosperous, had fallen on hard times and recently stayed in Atlantic City to recover from a nervous breakdown. Born Oswego in 1861, he began at sea for nine years before turning to writing and jewelry work in New York. He produced fourteen novels including A Tale of a Hall, Spun Yarn, Futility, and Where Angels Fear to Tread, and later pursued sea safety devices and submarines, inventing a periscope and underwater searchlight.
