Sitting on a Keg of Dynamite: Father Bill, Texas City, and a Disaster Foretold
John Neal Phillips
On April 16, 1947, the French vessel SS Grandcamp exploded in the port of Texas City, just north of Galveston, Texas. Nearly 600 people died. Among those killed was William Roach, a Roman Catholic priest known affectionately as Father Bill. Sitting on a Keg of Dynamite tells the remarkable story of Father Bill’s life.
