The Cruise Ship Disaster Caused By a Serial Killer? | SS Morro Castle Mystery #SSMorroCastle

On September 8, 1934, the luxury cruise liner SS Morro Castle became a floating inferno just miles off the coast of New Jersey. But the devastating fire wasn't the only nightmare onboard. Hours before the first spark ignited, the ship’s captain suddenly dropped dead in his locked cabin. Was it a tragic medical emergency, or was he murdered?
Welcome to Silent Waters. In this video, we break down one of the most chilling maritime mysteries of the 20th century. We explore the fatal design flaws that turned the ship into a death trap, the shocking cowardice of the crew who stole the lifeboats, and the dark truth about the disaster's celebrated "hero"—a man with a chilling history of arson, explosives, and murder.
Did Chief Radio Officer George White Rogers poison the captain and torch the ship to cover his tracks?
