History. Disaster. Army. Military. Sultana was a steamboat plying the Mississippi River. On April 27, 1865, while loaded in fact, overloaded with passengers, mostly veterans of the Civil War and some ex-inmates of Andersonville, the boat exploded. The Sultana explosion was the worst man-made disaster in the United States' maritime history.
