SS Eastland
The SS ''Eastland'' was a passenger ship based in Chicago and used for tours. On July 24, 1915 the ship rolled over while tied to a dock in the Chicago River.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.eastlandmemorial.org/ )〕 A total of 844 passengers and crew were killed in what was to become the largest loss of life from a single shipwreck on the Great Lakes.〔
Following the disaster, the ''Eastland'' was salvaged and sold to the United States Navy. After restorations and modifications the ''Eastland'' was designated as a gunboat and renamed the USS ''Wilmette''. She was used primarily as a training vessel on the Great Lakes, and was scrapped following World War II.
==Construction==
The ship was commissioned in 1902 by the Michigan Steamship Company and built by the Jenks Ship Building Company of Port Huron, Michigan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Shipbuilding History )〕 In April 1903, the ship was named by Mrs. David Reid of South Haven, Michigan. She received a prize of $10 and a one-season pass on the ship. The ship was named in May, immediately before its inaugural voyage.
