Patricia Sutton, CAPSIZED! - Launch Party!

Red Balloon Bookshop in St. Paul invites you to the launch party for Capsized!: The Forgotten Story of the SS Eastland Disaster, the fascinating new book from debut author Patricia Sutton. On July 24, 1915, the SS Eastland, filled to capacity with 2,500 passengers and crew, capsized in the Chicago River while still moored to the pier. The Eastland disaster took more passenger lives than the Titanic and stands today as the greatest loss of life on the Great Lakes. Capsized! details the events leading up to the fateful day and provides a nail-biting, minute-by-minute account of the ship's capsizing. Join author Patricia Sutton and other book lovers for a talk, book signing, and celebratory refreshments!
