Sultana when the boat was blown
up just after the close of the Civil
War. Nearly all of the 1000 troops
and crew on board were drowned
A portion of the boat is said to
show near Mount City, opposite
Memphis, but an old chart which
shows the channel of the river at
the time of the explosion and a
divining rod will be used as the main
instruments of the search, according
to Captain Greenwood. The loss of
the Sultana has never been explained.
Just after the accident it was sup
posed that the boilers burst when the
boat was few miles from
Memphis. 1t was said that actions
of the soldiers on board aroused
some secret organization to action. No
proof of this rumor was ever forth
coming, but the story went that the
explosion was caused by fire logs
which had been bored out filed with
giant powder and then stopped at the
ends with blocks of wood so that the
traces of tool work were obliterated.
