Merz N.Y.; Identified on Back in later hand as "German Immigrants Wiped Out in General Slocum Disaster"; some history regarding this event: "A fire aboard the General Slocum on June 15, 1904, turned into the worst maritime disaster in the New York area's history.... From its first summer afloat in 1891, the ship, named for Civil War hero Henry W. Slocum, was star-crossed. In the years before the fire, the paddlewheel steamboat managed to run aground six times and collide with four other vessels. Five weeks before the disaster, the Slocum was checked by the U.S. Steamboat Inspection Service, which certified its 13-year-old lifebelts as ``up-to-date and of good quality.'' The inspectors never checked the fire pump and hoses or noticed that the six lifeboats were stuck to the ship by a thick coat of paint... St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church, which served primarily German immigrants in lower Manhattan, chartered the aging Slocum for its 17th annual excursion to the Locust Grove Picnic Ground on Eatons Neck... The death toll was ultimately set at 1,021.
