"Went to visit Sultana Memorial"
"On April 27, 1865, the SS Sultana exploded in one of the worst maritime disaster in United States history. This memorial is one of the very few memorizing that event. It is here because many of the lost Union Soldiers were from East Tennessee. A forgotten tragedy, because the day before it happened President Lincoln was shot."
