The General Slocum was a passenger steamboat built in Brooklyn. She operated in the New York City area as an excursion steamer. On June 15, 1904, the General Slocum caught fire and sank in the East River of New York City. At the time of the accident she was on a chartered run carrying members of St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church (German Americans from Little Germany, Manhattan) to a church picnic. An estimated 1,021 of the 1,342 people on board died. The General Slocum disaster was the New York area's worst disaster in terms of loss of life and the worst maritime disaster in the city's history. This fully illustrated book contains many rare pictures and photographs of the accident and the aftermath.
