Sultana was a Mississippi River side-wheel steamboat. On April 27, 1865, the boat exploded in the worst maritime disaster in United States history. She was designed with a capacity of only 376 passengers, but she was carrying 2,155 when three of the boat's four boilers exploded and she burned to the waterline and sank near Memphis, Tennessee, killing 1,192 passengers.[1] This disaster was overshadowed in the press by other events surrounding the end of the American Civil War, most particularly the killing on the previous day of President Lincoln's assassin John Wilkes Booth.
We were given permission to place this cache by the curator . Please take some time to check out this free museum. They work on donations alone. Congrats to Bulldog Duo on the FTF
Please leave exactly as you found it. The cache is starting off full of swag, a GeoCoin that wants to make it to Lovington, NM and a FTF path tag for that lucky person.
