The Sultana was a steamboat that tragically exploded on April 27, 1865, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 1,700 people. This disaster is considered one of the worst maritime disasters in U.S. history. Most of the victims were Union soldiers returning home after the Civil War. The exact number of casualties is difficult to determine due to the chaotic circumstances surrounding the incident.
