THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, Atlanta, Georgia, July 6, 1918

* Steamer "Columbia" sinking disaster
* Pekin IL Illinois


This 12 page newspaper has a three column headline on the front page: "Excursion Boat Sinks in River; Life Loss Heavy" with subhead (see images). This tells of the sinking of the excursion steamer "Columbia" at Pekin, Illinois.

Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Light browning, little spine wear, otherwise good. Should be handled with care.
