Man Handling Trick Gear Knew Little About It
New York January hearing into the Mohawk disaster adjourned indefinitely after blame shifted to two dead men and one unidentified man. Deck engineer Stephen John Snyder testified he would not know how the ship’s rudder would turn on a 15 degree starboard unless the wheel was moved as the telegraph handle. He said the ship used a telemotor steering system and that the switch to trick steering could have occurred while tracing a glycerine line, taking about half a minute. Snyder said directions for the trick wheel came from first assistant engineer Mack Smith, among 35 dead and ten missing after the disaster.
