Join us with the Morro Bay Maritime Museum for this special presentation of the riveting documentary account of the largest peacetime Naval disaster in history! Devil’s Jaw is the name of a treacherous pass of the Pacific between Point Conception and the Channel Islands, and when a fleet of Navy destroyers attempted a speed run from San Fransisco to San Diego in September of 1923, a string of spooky coincidences and unlucky decisions saw seven speeding ships careen into the California coast in a historic pile up. This documentary paints a vivid and exciting picture of the events.
