Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In this riveting tale, the author chronicles the tragic collision between the steamship Edith and Pier 32. After a close examination of testimonies and evidence, the author concludes that the Edith's captain, who maintains dominance over the maneuver throughout, bears the brunt of the responsibility. Several opportunities are highlighted where the captain could have prevented the disaster, such as ordering his crew to drop the ship's anchors or calling on the assisting tugboat to retrieve the floating line. The text argues that the captain's failure to communicate his strategy to the tug, his acceptance of the tug's maneuver without protest, and his continued reliance on the tug despite the perceived engine trouble, all contribute to the mishap. Providing an in-depth analysis of fault and liability, this book sheds light on the critical importance of clear communication and responsible decision-making in maritime operations.
