Morro Castle crew discipline under fire questioned by witness
William O Sullivan deck storekeeper testified that officers failed to give proper orders during the Morro Castle fire and that there was a deficiency in officers rather than crew. He said inflammable cleaning polish was used commonly by the steward’s department and there was no pressure in the fire hose. The inquiry seeks grand jury statements as part of a Ward line disaster probe.
