Description

Even as World War I raged in Europe, The us scrambled to offer the Allies with ammunition, and a few munitions plants were constructed near the Jersey Shore. The abruptly built plants hummed with hardly a mishap until the fateful night of October 4, 1918, when a series of explosions killed one hundred folks. Firemen and other volunteers were powerless to prevent the destruction as it devastated the Morgan-South Amboy area and terrified the encompassing region. Strangely, regardless that, this woeful disaster has been forgotten by history. New Jersey historian Randall Gabrielan re-creates this terrifying night and its aftermath within the context of Middlesex County’s role within the Great War.
