Nobody Talks About the Titanic's Tragic Shipwreck

The Titanic, arguably the most famous shipwreck in history, was not the scariest or worst in history. On April 27, 1865, the Sultana Steamboat transported over 2,000 passengers instead of the usual 350. So there was a faulty boiler, an overabundance of passengers, a paucity of lifeboats, and less-than-ideal river conditions. The faulty boiler, unable to take the strain, exploded at 2 a.m. There were few survivors, but it was hardly the only calamity at sea.
