Under the Waves by Michelle & Andrew Suekert

Episode notes

Andrew and Michelle are tackling the deadliest shipwreck that caused the highest loss of life on the Great Lakes: the SS Eastland. While it's a doozy, it's a good story to remember and not let history forget about. Learn all about the twists and turns that led up to the fateful day in 1915 when the Western Electric company chartered the Eastland to help ferry over 2,500 of their employees for a fun day of picnicking. What started off as a celebratory morning quickly turned into a nightmare. Come learn about the coulda, woulda, shoulda's that might've made the whole thing preventable because hindsight really is 20/20.
