S.S. Eastland as photographed by Pesha Postcard Co

Great Lakes Passenger Steamer Eastland as photographed by the Pesha, Postcard Company, owned by the famed Great Lakes Maritime photographer, Louis Pesha. This was possibly taken after Pesha's death (1912). The SS Eastland was a passenger ship based in Chicago and used for tours. On 24 July 1915 the ship rolled over while tied to a dock in the Chicago River. A total of 844 passengers and crew were killed in what was to become the largest loss of life disaster from a single shipwreck on the Great Lakes. The Eastland and two other Great Lakes passenger steamers, the Theodore Roosevelt and the Petoskey, were chartered to take employees from Western Electric Company's Hawthorne Works in Cicero, Illinois, to a picnic in Michigan City, Indiana. There were many orphans and widows made that fateful day.

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for. I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording. Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
