Rare Eastland disaster photos discovered in newspaper's basement

A stern side view of the SS Eastland shows the decks raised out of the water Aug. 13, 1915 in Chicago. "The overturned excursion steamer Eastland yesterday was lifted to an angle of 70 degrees, and still it failed to right itself. It had been expected the boat would right itself after being raised to 45 degrees," the Tribune reported. The steamer was finally righted Aug. 14.
