I just found a youtube video about the Eastland disaster.

this was  a huge tragedy that affected many western electric employees and their families.
I have read about it over the years

It was an employee /family outing on the Eastland, the boat overturned before it ever left the dock, killing many we employees and their families. this was in Chicago and it involved employees of hawthorne works
I haven't watched the video yet.
You live, You learn,
You die, you forget it all.
