On April 27th 1865, the overload steamboat Sultana, carrying upwards of 2,400 passengers and crew, mostly Union Prisoners of War returning home from Confederate POW Camps including the Andersonville Death Camp, was torn apart by a boiler explosion in the resulting fire storm 1,900 sick and wounded soldiers, women and children parished in the worst maratime disaster in United States History
Today the tragedy of the Sultana is completly forgotten overshadowed by the end of the Civil War and the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln a few weeks before, dispite the fact more people died in the Sultana Disaster then on the Titanic, or the Lusitania, the only memorials are a few obscure plaques in forgotten cemetaries
I apologize for the lack of variety among the pictures in this video but that should serve as a testimant to just how forgotten the Sultana and the 1,900 who died on that horrible night truely are.
