According to myth, on the cusp of the Spanish-American War, the citizens of the ancient city of Málaga surrendered to the crew of the US merchant ship City of Everett. The Spaniards wore gold braid. The Americans hadn't taken a bath or brushed their teeth in weeks because their freshwater tanks were empty. Old World pomp collided with New World bewilderment. Like in a Marx Brothers movie.
Maybe it happened. History is long, improbable things happen during war, and people usually assume the worst of one another, making surrender an attractive option. But it didn't happen to the City of Everett.
What did happen is far more interesting.
Including rarely seen photos and drawings, "The Curious Case of the City of Everett" tells the true story of an innovative ship built with steel and promise. From the day it was launched until the day it was lost, the steamship City of Everett sailed through famine, war, revolution, and oil, circumnavigating the globe and history.
