Hoboken Docks Fire


Hoboken Docks Fire

The 1900 Hoboken Docks Fire occurred on June 30, 1900, and killed at least 326 persons in and around the Hoboken, New Jersey piers of the Norddeutscher Lloyd (NDL) shipping company. The piers were located in New York Harbor, at the foot of 3rd and 4th Streets in Hoboken, across the North River (Hudson River) from Manhattan in New York City. The area, a few blocks north of Hoboken Terminal, is now mostly part of the Hudson River, without docks; a waterfront bicycle path lines it.[2] There is, however, a "Pier C Park" on the northern side of the disaster area, which juts out into the water.
