Here's an awesome chance to put your history cap on and get your learn on

Some amazing footage of the famed Morro Castle ship disaster which claimed 137 lives and changed the industry pertaining to public transport ships forever has surfaced. Two stories on Nj.com give a history lesson as well as delve into a possible murder mystery.

The main story with all the background on the Morro Castle which washed ashore in Asbury Park can be found here, while the story that asks the question if the Morro's radio operator, one George White Rogers, was responsible for the fire as well as the deaths of a Bayonne couple is here.

Good stuff.
