"Above and Below the Waves: The Eastland Disaster on the Great Lakes" will
take place on Wednesday, May 10, at 7 p.m.

 

The passenger boat Eastland called St. Joseph, Michigan, home and
transported passengers daily between that city and Chicago. On July 24,
1915, the Western Electric Company chartered the boat to transport their
employees to a company picnic in Michigan City, Indiana. Eastland capsized
while still tied to the dock, killing 844 people. This presentation will
discuss the boat's history; the events of that day; and how, after a
century, the tragedy remains the Great Lakes' greatest disaster in terms of
loss of life. **Some of the images shown during this presentation are
graphic and show body recovery.**
