Sultana Disaster


The Sultana Disaster

Montgomery County, Indiana


Casualties of the Sultana from Indiana Units.

172/415 of these Indiana men lost their lives ON the Sultana, many others died later as a result of injuries. 292 of these men were at Cahaba, 167 were at Andersonville, some were in both places. 21 were at Meridian Prison.

The SULTANA was incredibly overloaded because of the greed of the ship master. He was getting a $5 per head fee for every former prisoner transported, more for Officers. Even though at least one other vessel was available the Captain had as many as he could fit on his ship. The flooded condition of the river, and possible faulty repairs to the boiler, earlier in the week,and overloading the ship to 6+ times its rated capacity contributed to the loss of the Sultana.


J. Cass Mason, Captain of the Sultana  

The Sultana Project

The Sultana Project is a group effort to bring the knowledge of the Sultana Disaster to the public.
The Project is created by theSultana-L@rootsweb.ancestry.com, a group of researchers with a interest in the ship, it's victims, and the history surrounding the disaster.

The events of April 25-27, 1865 were overshadowed by several "major" issues. President Abraham Lincoln had been assassinated a few days previously, General Lee had surrendered, and Jefferson Davis was a fugitive. The Assassin, John Wilkes Booth was the main news Item.

The event which occured at about 2 AM on April 27, 1865, was less known in severity, and the true impact on the families involved would be little known.

The Steamer Sultana designed to carry a rated 400 persons may have had over 2300 on board, and at least 2100 persons were aboard when the Boilers exploded. Because an actual roster was not kept at the time of Boarding, the actual size of this catastrophy would be unknown for some time.

The Tragedy was compounded by the fact that these doomed passengers were recently released Prisoners of the Civil War, Union enlisted men who were held in two of the most severe of Confederate prisons, Cahaba, and Andersonville. 1500-1700 of these men would perish in this incident. The lists are still being compiled by the research group.


The above are suggested US Postage stamps to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the disaster.
