Illdestined "MORRO CASTLE" off Beach at Asbury Park, NJ

photographic prints

A card with a photograph of the MORRO CASTLE off the beach at Asbury Park, NJ. A title written above the ship says "Illdestined "MORRO CASTLE" off Beach at Asbury Park, NJ/Sept. 9, 1934." That would be the day after the disaster when, reportedly, some 125,000 people came to see the ship. The ship is still smoking or steaming from the heat of the fire. The photographer is "de Arteaga Action Photos/821 Boardwalk/Asbury Park," so this might have been purchased by a visitor along the boardwalk.
