Just something to browse thru on a rainy day. I was surprised at the large number of 'accidental' shootings.

casualties not directly attributable to war.
That's so damn interesting, especially the older stuff. "Ship's boy" fell from aloft into the hold and was killed by the fall. Some of the other deaths on the Constitution seem oddly close together and similar in how they resulted in death. I bet there are untold stories there...
