| Notes: | Hichly technical account of the history of the ship, from her career as an excursion ship on Lake Michigan, her capsizing in the Chicago River, killing 844 due to topheavyness resulting from lifeboats added after the Titanic sinking. She was later refitted as the naval trainer Wilmette. Impersonal with not enough on the disaster. |
