Eastland: The Shipwreck That Shook America

Episode 1 of 1

Passengers packed aboard a Great Lakes excursion steamer never suspected that the SS Eastland had a dark past. But others knew it and the tragedy that would end 844 lives became America's shameful secret. EASTLAND combines story lines of immigrant exploitation, greed, corruption, a cover-up, and hundreds of casualties in one of America's worst maritime tragedies. In addition, it features rare, previously censored newsreel footage.
