The Clara Nevada

Description:

"February 5, 1898. Witnesses report a giant orange fireball reflected in the glacial waters of Alaska's Lynn Canal. At the height of Klondike gold fever, the Clara Nevada disappeared into an epic storm--taking passengers and priceless cargo with her. Was the explosion an accident or a robbery gone wrong?"--Page 4 of cover.
