Ss Sultana

SS SULTANA Boiler, or bomb, the Sultana sank on April 27, eighteen sixty five Taking down with her, a good rounded off number of 1,800 lives Carrying Union soldiers, who were ex-prisoners of war, up north From Vicksburg heading high up the Mississippi river, it set forth The weather was not so good as the Mississippi river was flooded So the Mississippi river waters was deep, cold, dark, and mudded A boat only meant to carry 376 passengers, its captain, and crew Now carrying 2,137 persons, where anxiety to its load, as be due There; were two other boats in dock that day, but; sailed, empty Had both boats been used, the space would have been be plenty Worse to come is the tale of Reuben Hatch, and, Captain J Mason What was going through their minds, to the job they were facing Capt. James Mason was way more than just a little bit complacent As knowing of a cracked boiler, had the repair job on it, hastened Protests was given, but; chief engineer Wintringer chose to ignore Capt.
