	Akron & Summit County History: Sultana Disaster
		The Sultana was a Mississippi River side-wheeler paddle boat that was 260 feet long and designed to carry a legal capacity of 376 passengers (by comparison the Titanic was 882 feet long and carried 2,220 passengers).
		Between 7 to 8 miles north of Memphis, the Sultana exploded with a horrific sound that could be heard ten miles away … seconds later, a brilliant and violent fireball could be seen in the sky.
		Without detailing all the problems of the ill-fated Sultana, it is recognized that the boat, which in addition to being grossly overloaded, had defective boilers that had been recently, but marginally, repaired at least three times and it was bucking an unusually strong current of the flood-stricken Mississippi River.

		Slowly, the worst of the flames died down, and finally with the mooring ropes still holding what was left of the Sultana gave up the hopeless struggle and sank, with a great noise of hissing and a huge pillar of smoke and steam rising toward the sky.
		So the Sultana was gone, and it remained to count the dead and to try to find out just why the disaster had happened.No definite count of the casualties was possible because there did not exist any really complete list of the number of men aboard at the time.

		Sultana smacked against her biggest dose of colonial resistance in 1771, when she captured a deserter from her crew in a smaller vessel off Newport, Rhode Island.
