SS Eastland was a passenger ship based in Chicago and used for tours. On 24 July 1915, the ship rolled over onto its side while tied to a dock in the Chicago River. In total, 844 passengers and crew were killed in what was the largest loss of life from a single shipwreck on the Great Lakes. After the disaster, Eastland was salvaged and sold to the United States Navy. After restorations and modifications, Eastland was designated a gunboat and renamed USS Wilmette. She was used primarily as a training vessel on the Great Lakes, and was scrapped after World War II.

  • SS Eastland byl americký parník, původně sloužící pro přepravu ovoce, později přestavěný na výletní loď. Po jeho převrácení v Chicagu dne 24. července 1915 zemřelo 844 lidí, z toho více než 220 Čechů. Loď si pronajala společnost , aby své zaměstnance, většinou imigranty z Evropy, přepravila na piknik v oblasti Michiganského jezera. Ještě v přístavu na řece , pouhých šest metrů od břehu, se ale loď po nalodění tisíců cestujících v 7.28 hodin ráno kvůli nestabilitě převrátila na bok a zůstala na bahnitém dně v hloubce šesti metrů. Většina obětí českého původu byla pohřbena na Českém národním hřbitově v Chicagu. (cs)
