The S.S. Eastland Disaster

#history #disaster On the 25th of July, on a calm summer day in Chicago, Illinois, while still tied to the pier, the Steamer SS Eastland rolled over. The event would trap hundreds in her lower decks killing over 800 passengers. But how did this happen? How could a steamer roll while on calm waters tied to the pier? The answer is as complicated as it is shocking.
