- "El Desastre del Morro Castle" by Leopoldo González interpreted by Trio Matamoros.
When the Morro Castle departed Havana for the final time on September 5th 1934, she carried aboard her 318 passengers and a crew of 231. On September 7th, as the voyage drew near to its conclusion, the series of events that culminated in disaster commenced. That night,the weather deteriorated a fire was discovered in a storage locker in the port side B deck Writing Room. The ship was kept sailing into the wind for a regrettably long time, driving the fire aft, up through the lounge well, and out onto the boat deck. Passengers, unable or unwilling to risk running through the flames to reach the boats congregated on the open decks aft on B, C and D Deck. The vast majority of those who escaped in the Morro Castle lifeboats were crew members, a fact later to draw much negative criticism, mitigated somewhat by the fact that they were quartered forward on the ship and had a knowledge of onboard shortcuts and crew staircases that the passengers did not possess. Those trapped at the stern began jumping when it appeared that the flames were about to burst from the superstructure on to the aft decks. Many broke their necks or knocked themselves out jumping improperly with life preservers on, while others jumped or were thrown from the ship without any life saving devices only to weaken and drown struggling in the increasing storm.
Passengers who did not awaken in time had to jump from the cabins in which they found themselves trapped by the fire. Few survived.

Rogers (the radio op) was never found guilty or even charged, but given what happened in his life after the disaster he certainly looks like a good suspect.
Vamos a traducir está canción para que los hermanos que no hablan español puedan entenderla
I found a photograph of the S.S. Morro Castle in some of my dad's old stuff. There are two dates written on the back with some shorthand by each date which I'm unable to read. The dates are 9/9/34 and 9/27/34. It's anchored near the shoreline, listing to the left and in water so shallow with rocks in the water very near it that although I can't tell if the ship is damaged, it's location so close to the rocks and water appearing shallow suggests it's after the fire. I can't assess the damage because the picture was taken by someone standing in front of and facing the ship. Update: I found a second picture from the same day. Its a side view and the ship is definitely damaged. Both pictures were probably taken Sept 27th.
We lived in Trenton NJ and my mother took me to see this in Asbury Park, I still remember the smell of smoke. There were a lot of people on shore looking
tremenda cancion DESDE REPUBLICA DOMINICANA ........ME ENCANTA LA MUSICA CUBANA
Que bueno, amigo, que le guste la musica cubana. Ahora, aunque esta cancion la cantan los cubanos del inmortal Trio Matamoros, esta cancion fue compuesta por el puertorriqueno Leopoldo Gonzalez.
Quiero recoger el guante y decirle que a mi me encanta la musica dominicana.
No tenía conocimiento de este último detalle. Gracias.
M Raphel Pouvez-vous nous donner le titre de la chanson ? Merci d avance. Bonjour de la France.
Y a mi la CUBANA. Helloooooooooo,
Whao I started crying whe I heard this song, Mi abuelita(grandmother) used to listen to this song and she explained me what happened to this ship. I loved the song it remains me of her .Love you grandma
La causa del fuego nunca se pudo establecer. Se infiere que el incendio empezó en un lugar de almacenaje de material inflamable. El barco tenía muchas deficiencias y un sistema muy pobre para evacuar a los pasajeros. La tripulación ocupó la mayoría de los botes salvavidas , mientras los pasajeros se lanzaban al vacío. Por un tiempo las sospechas cayeron sobre un empleado de mala reputación, pero las teorías burdas de conspiración siempre abundan, como en el caso de las Torres Gemelas.
i love the music, makes me want to drink tequila and learn spanish muchos gracias
Me gusta la musica cubana
La música Cubana, la Puerto Riqueza, la Dominicana, la Venezolana, parte de la Colombiana, la antillana, desarrollada en los Estados Unidos como salsa, todas son musicas Caribeñas, función de Euro- Afro-raizal de las Antillas. Que nos dicen Aquí tienes para que te alegres y bailes, también la hay romántica. El Caribe es el crisol donde se fundieron varias etnias y culturas para hacer de esta parte de la geografía universal, el mejor sitio del orbe, donde Nacer y vivir.
IS TRUE AND AS SAID BEFORE VERY SAD. I WAS ALITTLE GIRL,WHEN MY GRANDMOTHER TOLD US HER NEWLY WED FRIENDS WENT TO CUBA ,FROM SPAIN,AND FINAL DESTINATION NYC.AND THEY NEVER MADE IT.R.I.P. ALL OF THEN SINCE THEN ,I REMEMBER THE SONG.
such a gorgeous wedding cake of a liner--why do these lovely artistic/engineering floating marvels attract all these disasters? grossly unfair-- I bet the interior was a art deco dream--that's when travel was CLASS...now its peanuts and snorers--lol
@kjiukhix You're quite right. That picture is from the grand staircase of the first Morro Castle, complete in 1900 for the Ward Line.
It would have yet, sadly the Morro Castle did NOT sink. It burned and when the flames were finally out it was towed away to be dismantled.
@kjiukhix
Please check the links I provide under the description. The photo is from one of the Morro Castle's brochures.
@starwarsfandude
It seems it made a great impression on you.
@starwarsfandude
I don't think my comment needs explaining but be that as it may... you must have been a very young child in the thirties when you watched it go down and it impacted you enough to look it up on You Tube now. What did you think I meant?
