* Newport RI Rhode Island


This 16 page newspaper has a nice banner headline on the front page: "NEWPORT STEAMER BOILER EXPLODES; 32 DEAD, 41 DYING" with subheads that include: "Steamer Mackinac, on Way on Pawtucket, Is Turned Into Inferno" and more with death list.

This tells of the boiler explosion of the Steamer Mackinac near Newport, Rhode Island.

Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. A few tiny binding holes along the spine, otherwise in good condition.
