The Niagara was a 245-foot (75 m) long sidewheel palace steamer launched in 1846. Like the others of its kind, it carried passengers and cargo around the North American Great Lakes. It was owned by the Collingwood Line. It was reported at the time that the fire was caused by an incendiary. The Captain insisted the fire could not have started in the engine room, because it was fireproof, and blamed combustible cargo stored below. It appears that the cause of the fire was never definitively established.

  • Die Niagara war ein 1846 in Dienst gestellter Raddampfer der US-amerikanischen Reederei Collingwood Line, der am 24. September 1856 auf dem Michigansee durch ein ungeklärtes Feuer abbrannte und sank. Von den etwa 175 Passagieren und Besatzungsmitgliedern kamen zwischen 60 und 70 ums Leben. Es handelt sich dabei um eines der schwersten Transportunglücke in der Geschichte des US-Bundesstaats Wisconsin. (de)
