95 Years Ago The Centre of Gravity Was Overly High



138 Die in SS Kuru steam ship capsizing in Lake Näsijärvi, Tampere, Pirkanmaa, Finland.

The capsizing was mostly due to an overly-high centre of gravity. In 1927 a third deck level had been added without expert help or inspecting the balance of the ship.
