Firebugs Blamed For Great Vessel Blazing Disaster
In Hamburg on March 26 fire diaries were blamed for a blaze that partly destroyed the 40 000 ton North German Lloyd liner Europa. The ship was to be the queen of the trans Atlantic service. Blazes started at several points with no clear clue yet. Water pumped aboard sank the vessel and cranes hoisted firemen to the deck. Deck plates melted into a shapeless mass as flames raged toward midships. The North German Lloyd Company could not estimate total damage.
