Recorded as one of the most disastrous steamboat accidents on record, estimates of fatalities range between 150 and 200. Moreover, as After G. Tolti graphically records, body parts were scattered over the levee. One writer, describing the aftermath noted, “The effects of this disaster, unexampled in the history of steam navigation, were visible in every circle of society at New Orleans.” PROVENANCE [Martayan Lan, New York]; purchased by MFAH, 1999.
