Why This Sinking Was Worse Than Titanic

The sinking of the Sultana will go down as one of the worst maritime tragedies in US history, but it's a disaster that is often over looked for the more popular sinking ship story, the Titanic. The Sultana was a horrific disaster, but why isn't this a story worthy of a movie being made after it?

A tip from an "Economic Marine Science" student even though 90% of the Internet will confuse it, "tonnage" is actually used to measure a ship's potential cargo *vollume* not weight, the word you are looking for at 1:57 is "displacement" which refers to the amount/weight of the water displaced by a ship "straight out of the factory" (which is the same as the ships weight)

The biggest reason that people still are fascinated by the sinking of the RMS Titanic is due to her being a luxury liner with many of the day's riches celebrities on board, many of which were among those lost. The sinking of the Sultana is still a great tragedy, and it's is great to know that people did everything they could to help survivors.

[@samanli-tw3id]

What fascinates me most about Titanic is her giant reciprocation steam engines.

[@w4tt58]

It's because it was her maiden voyage in my uneducated opinion. I think the RMS Empress of Ireland is a lot more tragic in the fact that it was sunk in 14 minutes. Not fascinating considering it sank in a river after being rammed while steaming ahead in a blinding fog just minutes after picking up its Passengers.

[@harrymonk6]

@@Fridgemasters yeah but who got the movie deal huh? Boom

[@historicstudios2708]

EL Plagua they called her PRACTICALLY Unsinkable. Meaning Virtually or Almost Unsinkable. This was because of the compartment design in the hull. If 4 compartments were punctured, the ship would stay afloat. If memory serves me right though, the iceberg punctured 5-6 compartments, meaning that Titanic was doomed. The crew and designers, even Captain Edward Smith knew that Titanic was not ENTIRELY Unsinkable. They knew about how the ship would do in a BEST CASE SCENARIO. The minute the crew inspected the damage and saw compartment 5 flooded, they knew there was no hope for Titanic unless a ship could make it in time, and as any Titanic enthusiast would know, the closest ship was 4 hours away, even at top speed. They knew she was going to be long gone by that time. Thomas Andrews knew the ship more than anyone onboard, and he knew her limits. THEY KNEW! People love to over exaggerate things, especially when the Yellow Press gets involved. The only ones who knew Titanic’s true limits was her crew and designers. The passengers knew nothing other than “This is a big ship, how can anything sink it” because the majority of them knew nothing about how ships worked.

Sultana actually had an interesting life during the civil war. It was not the first time she had carried soldiers. At first it was meant to be a passenger and cargo boat. She was a part of the “Elite” class of Steamboats. These were also called “Wedding Cake” boats, because of both their luxury and comfort and the way the boats looked. This was a service that it only served for about a year or so until the civil war started causing problems for the railroad, as railways were often destroyed during battles. The steamboats started taking soldiers up and down the river more and more often, which meant more and more steamboats would be needed for the job. Sultana was out under contract to do this by her captain, because Mason was already going broke before his boats final and fateful voyage had started. He was so broke, that he sold the Sultana to 4 other people, and he had the least amount of ownership on the boat after doing this. There were trips up and down the river that had resulted in the boat being hit by cannons from confederate soldiers. While the boat was not heavily damaged, it was enough to give people on the boat at the time a scare.

The sultana did carry cargo, but the sultana was a luxurious paddlwheeler. It was the 4th ship of the same name the previous had all met a I'll fate. When the sultana left overloaded several ship still docked was leaving with only a handful of troops, one leaving with none . Newspaper were also bribed to keep negative stories out of the headlines by steamship owners because of the common place of boiler explosions. There is a really good PBS documentary narrated and produced by Sean astin (rudy/mikey from goonies) the documentary goes into great detail about events leading up to the disaster and the lives of survivors after.

Yeah but David Cameron cannot make a billion dollar movie about a steam boat

[@foxymetroid]

Of course not. He's a politician, not a movie director. It would be better to have James Cameron make it.

1:20 The death rate of the Titanic sinking was 1,496. The death rate of the Sultana sinking was 1,547. The sultana disaster was indeed more tragic than that of Titanic. (By roughly 100 though)

[@erdm8153]

How about the 10,000 people who died on the Wilhelm gustoff? Those are just rookie numbers

[@Supasmartguy]

Do a video on Andras Toma, the WWII POW who didn't return home until the year 2000!

[@jcumm6867]

I heard it was because of this event that humans began remembering how to swim in 1866

[@megamiow3325]

And you chuckle to yourself..... Me on the boat: chuckles I'm in danger

[@Steven.901]

7 miles north of Memphis 901 shii here

[@RebelGaming4U]

The paddleboat sinking reminds me of that mission on the game Gun where you are fighting bandits on the Mississippi River.

[@Steven.901]

So do we have a movie about this?

[@thespeedingmushroom7892]

Titanic: I was the most tragic and famous ship disaster of all time. Sultana: Am I a joke to you?

[@yc__]

Wilhelm Gustloff with ~9.000 dead...

[@heen5255]

"it's 1965 so you remember that-" Me- Titanic tragedy " *you can't swim* "

[@billharveyjr]

Heen wut

[@mikejohn3265]

As I start my career in construction things like this start to bother me. The idea my success or failure could cause someone life. 😔

[@jeremychan9799]

Infographics: there was a worse sinking than titanic Titanic: am I a joke to you?

[@anormalcommentor9452]

Titanic is famous, doesn't mean it's the worst maritime disaster

[@anAngeal]

The Eastland disaster in Chicago, IL was pretty tragic too.

[@equarg]

Thanks for doing a special on this. I tried to find some info on this....but had a hard time doing so. Do a special on “The General Solcrum”. It was a paddle boat that burned right in New York harbor...over 1000 died, mostly women and children. Many drowned because the cork life vests were ROTTON! (A few years before the Titanic) It was the worse disaster in NYC history until 9/11 happened.

[@MonTube2006]

Beeing ROTTON is a bad thing

[@mr.moonshine7465]

Hi love your videos and keep staying awesome

[@Amateur9712.]

Who else read the comments before watching the video

[@mr.moonshine7465]

Me lol

[@DragonSlayer-gp3rs]

Meeeee

[@SSJVegeta2012]

April seems like a bad month for ships. The Sultana in 1865, the Titanic in 1912, and the MV Sewol in 2014 all sank in that month.

I honestly thought this was going to be about the General Slocum. Maybe you could cover that in the future! It's really interesting and tragic, the vast majority of the victims were women and children as it was a company sponsored outing for the families of their employees in 1904. New York's Germantown was depopulated as a result of this event. @The Infographics Show will you consider it?

[@readmore3504]

Are you really watching the video? Or just scrolling through the comments?

[@cayden3307]

i watched the vid now im in the comments

[@johnf.tashjian6326]

Undoubtedly, the Sultana could have avoided its fate had Captain Mason LISTENED to his engineer...and not been so greedily corrpt.

[@Mikeera]

I believe Titanic was worse from an emotional impact point of view.

[@petarjovanmarkovic9675]

,,Sinking worse than Titanic Me:I gota watch this!

[@Amateur9712.]

Sinking worse than the titanic So when is titanic 2 coming out

[@mewhor]

Just found out my 3rd great grandfather died on the Sultana after being released from Andersonville.
