SUMMARY:SS Eastland Disaster Lecture
DESCRIPTION:A Deadly Disaster: The SS Eastland Disaster 100 Year Anniversary\n\nThe Michigan Maritime Museum is proud to welcome back speaker Michael McCarthy. McCarthy will be giving a lecture on the 1915 Eastland disaster titled after his book\, Ashes Under Water: The SS Eastland and the Shipwreck that Shook America.\n\n \n\nThis year marks the centennial of one of the nation's worst disasters\, the 1915 sinking of the steamship Eastland in the Chicago River\, with more passenger deaths than the Titanic. An astonishing 844 poor people perished on the Eastland a ship still tied to its dock when it capsized.\n\n \n\nMcCarthy will be presenting on the content of his book\, Ashes Under Water: The SS Eastland and the Shipwreck that Shook America.
