On July 24, 1915 the SS Eastland carried 1,200 people on board who were employees and families going on a picnic to Lake Michigan. Because of the total weight of people, the SS Eastland slowly rolled to its side near the Chicago docks. 844 people lost their lives by drowning or being crushed to death.
