Good Morning December 14th 2018.
Today in 1907 the sailing vessel Thomas W Lawson runs aground in a storm off the Isles of Scilly (Great Britain). Killing all but three of her crew, and creating what may be the worlds first oil spill. The Lawson had seven masts and could carry 11,000 tons. She was poorly built, and was often compared to a bathtub. At 475' She was the largest pure sailing vessel ever built.
It's the birthday of singer, song writer, musician, Charlie Rich (1932). Who had two 1973 hits "Behind Closed Doors" and "The Most Beautiful Girl." Charlies wife Margaret said of him... "As a farmer Charlie was a pretty good piano player"
