520    The story of the 1915 sinking of the SS Eastland, a Lake 
       Michigan excursion boat, which rolled over while tied to 
       its dock, within feet of one the busiest intersections in 
       Chicago. Horrified morning commuters watched it all 
       unfold. The final death toll would not come for weeks but 
       would be 835 people, including 21 entire families. The 
       trial would make national headlines and cause public 
       outrage. Clarence Darrow defended the only true hero of 
       the ship, engineer Joseph Erickson, whose wealthy bosses 
       laid all the blame at his feet.
