Blaze at Standard Oil Works Devastates Bayonne Yard
A massive fire at Standard Oil Company yards in Bayonne New Jersey started by a bolt of lightning during a massive tank explosion. Naphtha tanks 7 and other reservoirs exploded sending burning oil into the Kill Von Kull and toward the water. One worker Charles King was killed, others injured as flames engulfed 600 plus acres and threatened Bayonne’s tenement district prompting a dockside firefight by Bayonne and tug crews. Shipping was diverted as firefighting trenches diverted burning oil away from property and ships. The stock market reacted as trading opened with Standard Oil shares down slightly.
