- The Sea Wing disaster occurred on July 13, 1890, when a strong squall line overturned the excursion vessel Sea Wing on Lake Pepin near Lake City, Minnesota. Approximately 215 people were aboard the vessel when it overturned and as a result of the accident 98 passengers drowned. An excursion barge that was being towed by the Sea Wing was either cut loose or broke loose and survived the disaster with its passengers unharmed. It is the worst Minnesota maritime disaster, ever, and one of the worst maritime disasters that occurred on the upper Mississippi River. While tornadoes had occurred earlier in the evening farther north in the Twin Cities area, it is believed that downburst winds from a thunderstorm were the cause of the accident. (en)
