Today in 1919
Seventeen workers in the area die when a large molasses storage tank in Boston’s North End neighborhood bursts, sending a 40-foot wave of molasses surging through the streets at an estimated 35 miles per hour. In all, 21 people died and 150 were injured. The incident is variously known as the Boston Molasses Disaster, the Great Molasses Flood and the Great Boston Molasses Tragedy. Some residents claim that on hot summer days, the area still smells of molasses.

2015 Spring Golf
Updated On: Jun 25, 2015

A hearty Local 355 congrats to Kraft/Dover members Mel Stevens, Dave Manning, Bob Wekesser and Walker Chapman for their first place win in the Local's bi-annual golf event held Saturday, June 13th, at the Hog Neck Golf Course in Easton, Md.

Teams teed off at 8:45 a.m. in a modified shotgun start format, finishing the 18-hole course at the same time in just under five hours. Heat and humidity slowed the pace a bit, but participants were rewarded with libations and lunch under the club's shaded outdoor pavilion.
