At 2 a.m., three of \u003cem\u003eSultana\u003c\/em\u003e's four boilers exploded. Within twenty minutes, the boat went down in flames, and an estimated seventeen hundred lives were lost. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe worst maritime disaster in American history, the sinking of the \u003cem\u003eSultana\u003c\/em\u003e is a forgotten tragedy lost in the turmoil of the times--the war's end, the assassination of President Lincoln, the pursuit of John Wilkes Booth.
