Eastland Disaster
100 years since the Eastland -- Chicago Tribune | A man sits at the base of a stairway in the interior of the SS Eastland after it was drained and righted in August 1915. The Tribune reported that "... the frenzied victims were trapped by the staircases. The rush broke the newel posts and four spindles of the stair railing. The stair leads from the cabin to the promenade decks." Most of the bodies were found in this location.
