September 8 | 6pm-8pm | Location: Discovery World | FREE to the Public

On September 8, 1860, the palatial sidewheel steamer Lady Elgin left Chicago with hundreds of Irish from the Third Ward for what would be her final, fatal voyage. Join award-winning author Valerie van Heest, Discovery World’s archaeologist Kevin Cullen, and several special guests on the 150th anniversary of the worst disaster on the open waters of the Great Lakes, as they take the audience back in time…

…to the golden age of passenger travel on the Great Lakes…to the eve of a presidential election…to the brink of Civil War facing the young nation…and to the middle of a stormy night when 400 excursionists on board the Lady Elgin were awakened by the sound of a terrible crash.

More than a century later, perspective of time and documentation of the shipwreck site offers testament to the tragedy of those lost on the Lady Elgin.

This event is being held in honor of the more than 200 Milwaukeeans lost in this tragedy.

Be among the first to obtain a copy of Lost on the Lady Elgin signed by the author, Valerie van Heest.
