At about two o'clock in the morning on April 27, 1865, a wooden Mississippi steamboat called the Sultana exploded about seven miles north of Memphis. She was legally rated to carry 376 passengers. That night she was carrying more than two thousand people — most of them newly released Union prisoners of war, survivors of the Cahaba and Andersonville prison camps, finally on their way home after the Civil War. They had been crowded onto a single overloaded boat because the army paid private steamboats by the head to carry released prisoners north, and a corrupt quartermaster had arranged to fill the Sultana for a kickback. One of her four boilers had been hastily patched at Vicksburg instead of properly repaired. As the top-heavy boat rolled around a bend on the flooded river, three of those boilers exploded. An estimated 1,168 to 1,800 people died — more, by most counts, than would die on the Titanic nearly half a century later. It remains the deadliest maritime disaster in the history of the United States. And almost no one remembers it. Abraham Lincoln had been assassinated less than two weeks earlier; his killer, John Wilkes Booth, had been shot dead the day before. The news of 1,800 dead soldiers, after the war was already won, simply vanished beneath the front pages. No one was ever punished. This is part three of our mini-series, Greatest Maritime Disasters. Part one — the Doña Paz, 1987 — and part two — the Wilhelm Gustloff, 1945 — are on the channel. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Introduction 1:10 The Men 2:51 The Contract 4:29 The Patch 5:56 The Overloading 7:41 Two O'Clock in the Morning 9:37 The River 11:50 The Silence 13:45 Why the World Forgot 📜 SOURCES • Jerry O.
