Today's True Weird Stuff - Forbidden Island   In the early 1900s, a woman known as Typhoid Mary was identified as patient zero for a series of typhoid outbreaks in New York. As a result, she was forced into quarantine on North Brother Island and lived the rest of her life in exile. Not only was the island a quarantine zone, it was the location of the General Slocum steamboat disaster, the deadliest event to happen in New York before 9/11. Today, North Brother Island has been abandoned for over 60 years, and travel to the island is strictly forbidden.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In der heutigen Folge nimmt dich Flo mit in das aufstrebende New York im Jahr 1904. Die ersten Hochhäuser entstehen, die U-Bahn nimmt ihren Dienst auf und zehntausende Menschen aus der ganzen Welt erreichen unter den Augen der Freiheitsstatue die verheißungsvolle Neue Welt. Vor dieser Kulisse ereignete sich im Juni ein Schiffsunglück, das durch einen dummen Zufall begann, durch Nachlässigkeit verschlimmert und durch das kriminelle Handeln einer Firma in eine herzzerreißende Tragödie verwandelt wurde. Der Brand und anschließende Untergang der General Slocum auf dem East River forderte über 1000 Menschenleben und ist untrennbar verbunden mit dem Ende des deutschen Viertels von New York.

Bei einem Feuer auf einem New Yorker Ausflugsdampfer kamen am 15. Juni 1904 mehr als 1.000 Menschen ums Leben. Die meisten stammten aus Little Germany, einem vor allem von deutschen Einwanderern bewohnten Viertel, das im Jahr darauf zerfiel. Meichsner, Irene www.deutschlandfunk.de, Kalenderblatt

The General Slocum shipwreck occurred on June 15, 1904, when the passenger steamboat caught fire while cruising along the East River in New York City. Carrying over 1,300 passengers, primarily members of the German-American community on an annual excursion, the disaster resulted in the loss of over 1,000 lives, mainly women and children. Outdated safety measures, locked gates, malfunctioning lifeboats, and inadequate life vests contributed to the tragedy, prompting significant reforms in maritime safety regulations and leaving a profound impact on New York City's history and the public's consciousness.

There were few experienced swimmers among over 1,300 Lower East Side residents who boarded the General Slocum on June 15, 1904. It shouldn't have mattered, since the steamship was chartered only for a languid excursion from Manhattan to Long Island Sound. But a fire erupted minutes into the trip, forcing hundreds of terrified passengers into the water. By the time the captain found a safe shore for landing, 1,021 had perished.  "Ship Ablaze: The Tragedy of the Steamboat General Slocum" draws on firsthand accounts to examine why the death toll was so high and how the city responded. Masterfully capturing both the horror of the event and the heroism of men, women, and children who faced crumbling life jackets and inaccessible lifeboats as the inferno quickly spread, historian Edward T. O'Donnell brings to life a bygone community while honoring the victims of that forgotten day.

Am Morgen des 15. Juni 1904 scheint die Sonne von einem nahezu wolkenlosen Himmel hinab auf die freudige Menge an Ausflüglern, die das Pier am New Yorker East River entlang auf den Schaufelraddampfer „General Slocum“ zu hält. Das hell gestrichene Schiff soll sie für ein Picknick nach Long Island bringen und so das Ende des Sonntagsschuljahres markieren. Dafür hat die Gemeinde der St. Mark's Lutheran Evangelical Church das Schiff gechartert. Doch nicht eine Stunde später würden die meisten der 1.358 Passagiere – vor allem Frauen und Kinder – tot sein und der Untergang der „General Slocum“ würde gemessen an den Opfern als größte zivile Schiffskatastrophe in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika in die Geschichtsbücher eingehen. In der neusten Folge von „Früher war mehr Verbrechen“ begeben sich Nina und Katharina an diesen schicksalshaften Tag und gehen auch der Frage nach, ob das Unglück zu verhindern gewesen wäre. // Quellen & Shownotes // - General-Anzeiger der Stadt Mannheim und Umgebung: badische neueste Nachrich-ten, Mittagsblatt, 16.06.1904, S.2, https://www.deutsche-digitale-biblio-thek.de/newspaper/item/DYCOKM754QRMWDCQJ7CIPGCAPU43ICXK?tx_dlf[highlight_word]=slocum&issuepage=2&query=slocum&fromDay=1&fromMonth=1&fromYear=1903&toDay=31&toMonth=12&toYear=1905&page=2&hit=9 - General-Anzeiger für Dortmund und die Provinz Westfalen, 17.06.1904, S.1, https://www.deutsche-digitale-biblio-thek.de/newspaper/item/QDJQPEDRI3FZYRB7RTPUDE6RVKFU2JLM?query=slocum&fromDay=1&fromMonth=1&fromYear=1903&toDay=31&toMonth=12&toYear=1905&page=2&hit=4&issuepage=1 - Houghtaling, T., Witness to Tragedy: The Sinking of the General Slocum, 24.02. 2016, New York Historical Society, https://www.nyhistory.org/blogs/witness-to-tragedy-the-sinking-of-the-general-slocum - King, G., A Spectacle of Horror – The Burning of the General Slocum, Smithsonian Magazine, https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/a-spectacle-of-horror-the-burning-of-the-general-slocum-104712974/, 21.02.2012 - Kreye, A., Das fatale Feuer auf der "General Slocum", Süddeutsche Zeitung Online, 15.

This episode covers the attempted assassination of Teddy Roosevelt, the General Slocum disaster, and a hero of that disaster Mary Ann Mcann. In 1912 Teddy Roosevelt was almost killed by an assassin. Rather than die, he sustained a gunshot wound to the chest and continued on with his day as planned. This is a wild story and one that often gets overlooked in the history books. Also in this episode Kyle and Jheisson cover the General Slocumb disaster which was the worst maritime disaster of the 20th century until the Titanic stole its crown. There was a silver lining of the disaster however as Mary Ann McAnn became a national hero.TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wikiuniversity  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmPDDjcbBJfR0s_xJfYCUvw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wikiuniversity/ Music provided by Davey and the Chains

Host Scott Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org. Fisher and David talk about the eclipse, and one in particular that occurred during the Revolutionary War that military leaders used to rally the troops. David then shares the remarkable story of the discovery of a uniform of a World War II vet and how it found its way into the hands of the vet's granddaughter. Then, another World War II story has had another chapter written. The ship involved in one of America's great naval disasters has been located. David then talks about the upcoming conference of the Federation of Genealogical Societies in Pittsburgh and shares a blogger spotlight on Robin Lacey's spadeandthe grave.wordpress.com, where Robin talks about digging up a graveyard of ancestors. Then Fisher begins his two part visit with his first cousin, Joann (Fisher) Schmidt, of Dutchess County, New York. When Fisher and Joann began collaborating on their shared family history back in the 1980s, Joann also looked into her mother's side. There, she discovered a horrible family secret. Her grandfather's family had been decimated in a disaster on a steamboat in 1904 in which ten family members were killed. It is called the General Slocum disaster, and it took place in New York City. The tragedy marked the greatest single loss of life in New York City history prior to 9/11. In this two part interview, Joann shares her story of how she learned the details of her grandfather's greatest trial, and how he endured the aftermath. Then, Tom Perry checks in from the road as he continues his Preservation Tour, scanning genies' pictures for free at sites around the country. Where is he now and where will he be next? He will tell you. Tom then answers another listener question concerning the best way to be sure your material will still be around years from now. That's all this week on Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show!

In 1904, a fire broke out on a steamboat full of families enjoying a ride along New York City's East River. The panicked passengers quickly discovered they had an even bigger problem on their hands - the ship's life preservers. The safety equipment turned an emergency into a catastrophe. When you run a business, you build relationships with other businesses. They become your vendors and suppliers.

Paul Harvey - General Slocum

On June 15, 1904, a fun excursion down the East River in New York soon turned into a tragedy when the General Slocum, a huge steamship, caught on fire. It was devastating and had long-lasting consequences. Do you know the story, or is this your first time hearing it? _____ SOURCES “1,000 Lives May Be Lost in Burning of the Excursion Boat Gen.

On June 15, 1904, a steamship called the General Slocum left the pier on East Third Street in New York City just after 9 AM. The boat was filled with more than 1,300 residents of the Lower East Side. Many of the passengers were recent German immigrants who were headed up the East River for a church outing, a boat cruise and picnic on Long Island. They would never make it. We interviewed the last survivor of the General Slocum, Adella Wotherspoon, when she was 100 years old. Today, we're bringing you her story. This story originally aired on NPR in 2004.

On a sunny June day in 1904, well over a thousand German-American residents of Manhattan set out for a picnic and river cruise aboard the stately P.S. General Slocum. Fourteen years old, freshly painted and polished, and enjoying a repuatation as one of New York's largest and most comfortable excursion steamships, the General Slocum was also a master class in maritime safety violations, with lifeboats that couldn't be launched, life preservers that couldn't float, and a fire suppression system that relied on rotten hoses and an untrained crew. Two hours after her launch that day, the vast majority of her passengers would be dead; the remainder would spend years trying to come to terms with New York's worst maritime disaster. On this episode, we're discussing fake safety inspections, imaginary fire drills, what makes cork float, swimming in Hell Gate, life in New York City's Little Germany, and some theories on why some disasters are remembered far longer than others.

There are two mysterious islands in the East River with a human population of zero. They are restricted. No human being lives there.  One of these islands has been witness to some of the most dire and dramatic moments in New York City history. North Brother Island sits near the tidal strait known as Hell Gate, a once-dangerous whirlpool which wrecked hundreds of ships and often deposited the wreckage on the island's quiet shore. In the 1880s the island was chosen as the new home for Riverside Hospital, a quarantine hospital for New Yorkers with smallpox, tuberculosis and many more contagious illnesses.

Dive deep with us as we explore the catastrophe of the Steamboat General Slocum.

On a summer afternoon in 1904, the General Slocum, a supposedly unsinkable ship carrying about 1,300 people bound for a picnic, caught fire and sank in New York City's notorious Hell Gate. The General Slocum disaster was the second-worst maritime disaster in US history and the greatest loss of life in NYC before 9/11. But it's been largely forgotten. When a church group and their neighbors went on an ill-fated day trip to Long Island, they encountered a disaster of unfathomable proportions, bolstered by greed, incompetence, and cowardice. And they would pay for other people's mistakes with their own lives. Over 1,000 people, mostly women and children, died that day, decimating the population of Manhattan's Little Germany and devastating family members who'd been left behind. While this is an upsetting story, it's an important one when looking at the Hell Gate's history, as well as stories of the paranormal in the area. Note: This episode contains stories about many people--including children--drowning and dying in a fire. Highlights include: • Drunk anarchists from Paterson, NJ • What happened to NYC's lost neighborhood of Little Germany • An unsinkable ship that sank 8 years before the Titanic • Heroic rescue efforts by tugboat captains and hospital employees and patients • Guilty parties getting away with, if not murder, then manslaughter • A possibly cursed ship For the shownotes and sources, visit buriedsecretspodcast.com.

The congregation of St. Mark's Lutheran church in New York City's Little Germany had been waiting for the Sunday school picnic excursion all year. Mothers dressed their kids in their best clothes and packed up good food in baskets to bring with them on the trip up the East River and out to Long Island. On June 15th, 1904, thirteen hundred people would be aboard the General Slocum as it left the pier near the Williamsburg Bridge. Within two hours, over a thousand of them would be dead.

It was a beautiful summer’s day. The steamer was crowded; all her flags were gayly flying; merry music was playing; happy children singing and laughing; parents and friends talking over the topics of the day, and as the steamer wended her her way all on board was joy and happiness and merriment. She had not proceeded far up the East River, however, when the terrible cries and confusion that beggar description, and with a startling rudeness that can not be pictured in words, a frightful scene ensued, too horrible for narration. Suffice it for me to say that in all the annals of our country nothing like it ever occurred before, and I pray to God that nothing like it will ever happen again. The captain of the steamer lost his head, as so often happens under similar circumstances, and instead of immediately beaching the steamer, as he should have done, he ran her up the river several miles in the teeth of the fanning wind, where she finally grounded near North Brothers Island, a charred and blackened wreck. Oh, the pitiable scenes that then ensued! It is too terrible to contemplate even now. PURE FOODS It is recognized now that the welfare of people and their ability to accomplish something for themselves and their families and for the public depends, to a very large extent, upon proper nutrition for their bodies. The experiences of this Government Panama shows conclusively that as soon as men can secure proper food in sufficient quantities they are capable of doing much more and efficient work and become far better and more valuable citizens. But it is needless to go to the Tropic to ascertain the truth of such a self-evident fact. One great source of the incapacity, poverty, suffering, and degradation in our own land, in both cities and country, has been the imperfect nutrition of body and brain, caused by deficient quality of quantity of foods. Nearly all the civilized governments realize this fact, and have enacted laws, more or less stringent, designed to correct, so far as possible, the evils of this adulteration and deterioration of foods. The majority of the States in the Union have laws, more of less wise, and more or less well enforced, which of the States had good pure-food laws, well administered, and adapted to the varying conditions of their localities, there would be little need for a national pure-food law for interstate commerce. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sandra-clay/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sandra-clay/support

A relaxing steamboat ride to a church picnic turns into pandemonium as the boat catches fire and begins to sink.  All you have to do is put on your lifejacket and jump. Imagine the terror of witnessing those who jumped, being dragged to their death by the very life jacket that worn to save them.  This is the story of the General Slocum disaster.

Episode 19 “Ship Ablaze”: with Edward T. O’Donnell,Professor Holy Cross University.There were few experienced swimmers, among the over 1,300 Lower East Side residents, who boarded the General Slocum on June 15, 1904. It shouldn’t have mattered since the steamship was chartered, only for a languid excursion, from Manhattan to Long Island Sound. But a fire erupted minutes into the trip, forcing hundreds of terrified passengers into the water. By the time the captain found a safe shore for landing, 1021 had perished. It was the worst disaster ever to occur in New York City, until the terrorist attacks, nearly one-hundred years later, on 9/11.In his book, “Ship Ablaze”, Professor Edward T. O’Donnell draws on firsthand accounts to examine why the death toll was so high and how the city responded.Michael T.

Join us for a journey to the East Village. My guests are Rediscovering New York regular Joyce Gold of Joyce Gold History Tours, and special guest Lorcan Otway, Owner of Theatre 80 on St. Mark’s Place, and who is also the curator of The Museum of the American Gangster, located right above the theater. Segment 1 Jeff introduces his first guest, a regular, Joyce Gold. She explains why she initially got interested in historical tours. Joyce discusses the early history of 17th century East Village and the influence of the Dutch in the area. She then talks about what the area looked like during the revolutionary area and the significance of Stuyvesant Street. She also talks about the fact that Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, the widow of Alexander Hamilton, lived in East village in the 1830s and early 40s.  Segment 2 Joyce begins by discussing the great variety of ethnicities that were spread throughout East Village. She then highlights the importance of East Village to the German-American people in New York. This was suddenly changed because of a tragic accident at the end of the 19th century, which was the General Slocum disaster. The ship was carrying over mostly German-Americans at the time of the accident, 1,000 of the 1,300 died. This was the largest loss of life in NYC until September 11th and permanently scarred the German community. After the exodus of the German community, the Yiddish culture sprouted in the area. Many different cultures began popping up in the area at the end of the 20th century. Segment 3 Jeff kicks off this segment by introducing his second guest, Lorcan Otway. Lorcan explains that he grew up on a farm between New Rochelle and Pelham before going into the East Village. One of the first moves his father made in the East Village was to buy a small theater. Lorcan tells an intricate story of how is father found 2 million dollars and wasn’t able to keep a single penny. Lorcan continues about how his father started writing plays and why he was so passionate about theater. Jeff asks about how Lorcan went into Law and he tells a story about his rowing career in Ireland before studying and how rowing actually kicked off his law career. Jeff and Lorcan go back to talking about the various ethnicities in the midst of the East Village, specifically the Ukranian community.   Segment 4 Lorcan continues to talk about Theatre 80 and the various events that they have going on. From Irish Trad to Shakespeare to different films, they always have things happening. Lorcan is also the curator of The Museum of the American Gangster. He started it because there used to be a speakeasy in the basement of the theater. The location had been a bar since 1922, but since his father was a Quaker, he did not want to pay to renew the bar. Now known as the William Barnacle Tavern, the bar functions as a quiet but popular speakeasy. Lorcan talks about the fact that the East Village will always have a vibrant energy and bar scene. The only thing that Lorcan wishes was still around, is the fact that there used to be more mom and pop shops in the East Village.

In 1904 a Manhattan church outing descended into horror when a passenger steamboat caught fire on the East River. More than a thousand people struggled to survive as the captain raced to reach land. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the burning of the General Slocum, the worst maritime disaster in the history of New York City. We'll also chase some marathon cheaters and puzzle over a confusing speeding ticket. Intro: In 1959 a Norwegian insulation company wrangled a three-ton block of ice from the arctic to the equator. At his death in 1838, the governor of Bombay was transported into innumerable pussycats. Sources for our feature on the General Slocum: Edward T.

Host Scott Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org. Fisher and David talk about the eclipse, and one in particular that occurred during the Revolutionary War that military leaders used to rally the troops. David then shares the remarkable story of the discovery of a uniform of a World War II vet and how it found its way into the hands of the vet’s granddaughter. Then, another World War II story has had another chapter written. The ship involved in one of America’s great naval disasters has been located. David then talks about the upcoming conference of the Federation of Genealogical Societies in Pittsburgh and shares a blogger spotlight on Robin Lacey’s spadeandthe grave.wordpress.com, where Robin talks about digging up a graveyard of ancestors. Then Fisher begins his two part visit with his first cousin, Joann (Fisher) Schmidt, of Dutchess County, New York. When Fisher and Joann began collaborating on their shared family history back in the 1980s, Joann also looked into her mother’s side. There, she discovered a horrible family secret. Her grandfather’s family had been decimated in a disaster on a steamboat in 1904 in which ten family members were killed. It is called the General Slocum disaster, and it took place in New York City. The tragedy marked the greatest single loss of life in New York City history prior to 9/11. In this two part interview, Joann shares her story of how she learned the details of her grandfather’s greatest trial, and how he endured the aftermath. Then, Tom Perry checks in from the road as he continues his Preservation Tour, scanning genies’ pictures for free at sites around the country. Where is he now and where will he be next? He will tell you. Tom then answers another listener question concerning the best way to be sure your material will still be around years from now. That’s all this week on Extreme Genes, America’s Family History Show!

Wir springen in dieser Episode ins 19. und frühe 20. Jahrhundert der USA. Wie viele EmigrantInnen aus Europa, sind ab Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts bereits hunderttausende Deutsche in die USA ausgewandert. Ein Ort an dem sie sich vermehrt niederlassen: New York City. Dort entsteht schließlich an der Lower East Side von Manhatten jenes Viertel, um das es sich in dieser Folge dreht: Kleindeutschland. Doch im Gegensatz zu Stadtteilen wie Chinatown oder Little Italy, ist von Kleindeutschland heute so gut wie nichts mehr übrig. Wir sprechen über die Gründe, allen voran das für Kleindeutschland einschneidentste Ereignis: die "General Slocum" Katastrophe.

In episode 10, Jacqui explains why it isn't a good idea to let your baby play with a box of tampons and Nicole gives a lesson in spider hunting. The sisters also talk about the tragic sinking of P.S. General Slocum, and the dramatic derailment of a train at Montparnasse station.

On June 15, 1904, a steamship called the General Slocum left the pier on East Third Street in New York City just after 9 AM. The boat was filled with more than 1,300 residents of the Lower East Side. Many of the passengers were recent German immigrants who were headed up the east river for a church outing, a boat cruise and picnic on Long Island. But they would never make it. We interviewed the last living survivor of the General Slocum, Adella Wotherspoon, when she was 100 years old. Today we’re bringing you her story as part of our series, Last Witness. Plus, a portrait of the last civilian lighthouse keeper in the U.S. Know someone who’d make a good Last Witness? Get in touch! You can find us on Twitter and Facebook, use the hashtag #LastWitness.

The PS General Slocum was a passenger steamboat built in Brooklyn, New York, in 1891. During her service history, she was involved in a number of mishaps, including multiple groundings and collisions. On June 15, 1904, the General Slocum caught fire and sank in the East River of New York City.[1] At the time of the accident, she was on a chartered run carrying members of St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church(German Americans from Little Germany, Manhattan) to a church picnic. An estimated 1,021 of the 1,342 people on board died. The General Slocum disaster was the New York area's worst disaster in terms of loss of life until the September 11, 2001 attacks. It is the worst maritime disaster in the city's history, and the second worst maritime disaster on United States waterways.[2] The events surrounding the General Slocum fire were explored in a number of books, plays, and movies.

North Brother Island has a rich history that is still reflected in its abandoned landscape and buildings. This is an island off of New York and now owned by New York. New York City saw the worst tragedy in American history on September 11, 2001. Before that day, the worst tragedy was the sinking of the General Slocum, which has connections to North Brother Island. The island also was home to Riverside Hospital, a quarantine hospital for those suffering from horrible and contagious diseases like small pox. Many died there. And for twenty-three years, Typhoid Mary called this island home. There are rumors that the island is not completely abandoned. Spirits seem to have remained. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of North Brother Island. Moment in Oddity features the noise of planets and This Day in History is by Steven Pappas and features the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan.

On June 15, 1904, hundreds of residents of the Lower East Side's thriving German community boarded the General Slocum excursion steamer to enjoy a day trip outside the city.  Most of them would never return home. The General Slocum disaster is, simply put, one of the greatest tragedies in American history.  Before September 11, 2001, it was the largest loss of life of any event that has ever taken place here.  This is a harrowing story, brutal and tragic.  The fire that engulfed the ship near the violent waters of the Hell Gate gave the passengers a horrible choice -- die by fire or by drowning.  In the end, over one thousand people would lose their lives over an horrific event that could have been easily prevented. But in this tale are some surprising and even shocking stories of human survival, real stories of bravery and heroism.  www.boweryboyspodcast.com Support the show.
