9106. Beach, Captain Edward L., THE WRECK OF THE MEMPHIS. NY. 1966. 2nd. 312p. DJ. The legendary Memphis was one of the largest battle cruisers ever built by the Navy but in 1916 the vessel was utterly demolished in one of the most grotesque tragedies ever recorded. In Santo Domingo Harbor on a peaceful August evening a huge wave appeared to the southeast, growing to 100 feet and racing toward the harbor. Now Captain Beach tells the full story of the Memphis, of the man who commanded her – his father – and of the court-martial which shattered a brilliant naval career. (VG/G). $18.
