    Andrew and Michelle are tackling the deadliest shipwreck that caused the highest loss of life on the Great Lakes: the SS Eastland. While it's a doozy, it's a good story to remember and not let history forget about. Learn all about the twists and turns that led up to the fateful day in 1915 when the Western Electric company chartered the Eastland to help ferry over 2,500 of their employees for a fun day of picnicking. What started off as a celebratory morning quickly turned into a nightmare. Come learn about the coulda, woulda, shoulda's that might've made the whole thing preventable because hindsight really is 20/20.

    This week's episode has it all - cross-Atlantic travels, WWII, jukeboxes, and a ship that spent more of her life under water than above it. Michelle and Andrew are talking about the MV Prins Willem V aka "Willie" today and boy howdy, is this an interesting, albeit shorter tale. Learn along with Andrew about the color orange, carrots, consonants, and Roman numerals. We might even through in a few numbers. Consider yourself warned for this wild ride of an episode, so strap in and hang on!
