Sultana Disaster Online Museum & Archives

On April 27, 1865, the steamship Sultana exploded on the Mississippi River in what remains the greatest maritime disaster in American. Over 1600 passengers, mostly Union soldiers recently released from Confederate prison camps, were killed either in the explosion, from drowning, or fire.

Sultana coins SOLD OUT! (well...almost)

After Pam Newhouse posted the news about the coins in the most recent issue of Sultana Remembered I received a rush of orders that has almost completed depleted by supply of the commemorative coins.

Since some orders are still waiting to be received via mail, I strongly urge that anyone who is still interested in buying a coin email me first to check on availablity.

To everyone who already received their coins, please let me know either via email, or in the comments here, what your thoughts are on the coin.

I plan to mint a new coin to be made available at next years reunion, and will present some ideas for who will be honored on the 2007 coin in the next few months.
