Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Select Committee to Investigate the Causes and Circumstances of the Destruction of the Ice-Boats Chesapeake and Maryland: With Accompanying Testimony and Papers, 1872
The evidence in the case of the Maryland does not enable us to fix with any accuracy the cause of her destruction. Three causes have been given for the destruction of the Maryland spontaneous combustion, carelessness or design.
The Committee are not of the opinion that the fire was caused by spontaneous combustion in the waste room, as alleged; and, indeed, the testimony is con?icting as to whether or not the fire originated here.
