visit to Wooster Cemetery

Sultana was a steamboat that exploded on 27 April 1865 on the Mississippi, north of Memphis. The ship's capacity was 376, it may have had over 2500 on board, mostly released Union soldiers from Confederate prison camps. The lowest tally of deaths listed is 1547, estimates of 1800 are given now. This remains the deadliest maritime disaster in America. There were fewer deaths on the Titanic.
