Four others would die later from their injuries. Her total loss marks the deadliest passenger ship disaster off the coast of the United States since the burning of the liner SS \u003cem\u003eMorro Castle\u003c\/em\u003e off New Jersey in 1934. The survival of over 450 people from the inferno was nothing short of a miracle. The subsequent accident investigation and voluminous press coverage exposed the cavalier operational practices of cruise lines at the time and eventually changed US and international standards for the construction and operations of passenger ships. Based on the authors' collection of firsthand narratives from survivors and their families, thousands of pages of testimony from the United States Coast Guard accident investigation, and contemporaneous press coverage, the book is primarily the story of the night the \u003cem\u003eCastle \u003c\/em\u003eburned and, secondarily, the legal and regulatory aftermath of the disaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 8.6 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 28, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47508194590898,"sku":"9780764369872","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/dSpjUAUW3y9780764369872.webp?v=1779600184","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/yarmouth-castle-burning-the-deadliest-passenger-ship-disaster-off-the-coast-of-the-united-states-since-1934-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
