AI Reconstruction of The 1865 Sultana Disaster | When 1,500 American Soldiers Never Came Home

In April 1865, the deadliest maritime disaster in American history tore through the Mississippi River, killing more people than the Titanic — and then vanished from national memory.

This is the story of the Sultana. A steamboat packed with over 2,000 Union soldiers, many of them just released from Confederate prison camps, exploded in the dark outside Memphis after corruption, overcrowding, and a dangerous boiler repair turned their journey home into a floating coffin.

History remembers the Titanic. It remembers the Lusitania. But the Sultana killed more people than both — and no one was ever punished.
