    Description

    On April 27th, 1865, just weeks after the end of the American Civil War, a steamboat carrying former Union prisoners of war sailed up the Mississippi River from Vicksburg.

    At 2 am, the boilers on the steamship exploded, killing 1800 people in what is still the largest maritime disaster in US history.
