Description
On April 27, 1865, tragedy struck the Steamboat Sultana, causing the worst maritime disaster in United States history. Overcrowded with former Confederate prisoners of war on their way home, the ship's boiler suddenly exploded, unleashing a catastrophic inferno that threatened the lives of everyone on board. Despite the magnitude of this disaster, it was overshadowed at the time by the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln just days prior. Join us as we delve into the heartbreaking story of the Steamboat Sultana and the lives forever impacted by this forgotten tragedy.
