Cursed or not, Rosecrans was one unlucky ship
About this episode
The big oil tanker had weathered two major catastrophes in the previous year — a stranding and a colossal fire.

(Columbia River Bar, Clatsop County; 1910s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1506c.cursed-ships-rosecrans-344.html)
