Editor Pensacola Journal: We have been reading during the past month of the terrible disaster and loss of the big steamship Titanic. Though only forty-seven years ago, iwry few of us remember an accident, a fearful calamity, that occurred oft the 186, The big sidewhee] steamboat Sul- tana, engaged in carrying exchange prisoners of war back to their homes, blew up. There were no Astors, no prominent men aboard, but only a lot o’ Union soldiers, captured at Vicks- burg, hence forgotten. Here it is. At the close of the war, Cemp Fisk was established near Vicksburg for the general exchange ot prisoners captured during the op- erations of the armies in the west The steam transport Sultana was bus- fiy engaged in the early spring to carry the released prisoners, maaking several trips. On April 27, 1865, ghe was on her last trip, having on board all that were left of the Union soldiers, 2,134 men, besides the crew of the boat. These soldiers were embarked at He- len2 and on the same day she arrived at Memphis. While steaming along same ninety miles above that point her boilers suddenly exploded and she sunk immediately, During the war "lw levees on both sides of the river hiad been so demetished and neglected that al] the bottom lands were inun- dated as they are now and at this point were covered with water back fifty miles. But few of the soldiers were saved, akout 1,900 going down. I myself was 2 prisoner of war in {Fort Delaware, We got the news of this terrible accident through the Philadelphia Inquirer, a rabid sheet, and the oniy paper the Yankees would let ut see. 1 was paroled out of this hell on May 20, 1865, WM.
