The Clara Nevada : gold, greed, murder and Alaska's Inside Passage /Steven C. Levi.

"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?"--Cover p. [4].
