STEAMER EASTLAND COLLECTION
OF 7 DIFFERENT POSTCARDS

ShipLake_SteamerEastlandLot_SE-200_small.JPG available from Judnick.com ShipLake_SteamerEastlandLot_ViewOfE-200_small1.JPG available from Judnck.com

The Steamer Eastland capsized in the Chicago River 7/24/15 with horrific loss of life. Over 1200 people perished. The postcards showing this ship and the disaster became instant collectors items and are elusive to this date. These postcards are in collectible condition. No dogs. A minor fault here or there that is insignificant because of their historic importance. The postcards in the collection:

"Members of Chicago Fire and Police De- / partment engaged in the recovery of / bodies from sunken hold of Steamer / Eastland." with a dead body being raised by rope, black & white.
"Police are here shown recovering bodies / from between decks of the ca sized(sic--missing p) / Steamer Eastland" black & white.
"S. S. Eastland - Wells St. Bridge - Chicago River. / RECOVERING BODIES AFTER DISASTER" with a tug & many spectators, black & white.
"Steamer Eastland, Cleveland, Ohio" underway with passengers, color, mailed 1908.
"Steamer Eastland" underway with passengers, color, mailed 1911.
"The Ill-Fated Eastland, which turned / turtle in the Chicago River, July 24, 1915, / at 7:30 A. M., causing the death of over / 1200 persons, mostly women and children" side view at a dock, black & white.
"View of Eastland, taken from south side / of river, shortly after accident, showing / the rescuers anxiously at work. Police / had not yet removed the throngs of cur- / ious which lined both sides of the river." black & white.

Gripping stuff. We will scan some of these postcards soon, but if you wait, they may be sold. [Out of respect for the dead we will not scan those showing corpses.] All 7 are yours for $80.00. s(l)i(c)d
