What was the name of the boat involved in the maritime tragedy where over 1,000 people, mostly German, lost their lives in 1880?

  1. Empire State

  2. General Slocum

  3. Liberty Belle

  4. Victory Voyager

The correct answer is: General Slocum

The Empire State, Liberty Belle, and Victory Voyager were all names of boats that existed around 1880, but none of them were involved in a tragic event where over 1,000 people, mostly German, lost their lives. The General Slocum, however, was the name of the steamship that caught fire while on a pleasure cruise in New York City on June 15, 1880, resulting in the death of 1,021 people. Therefore, the correct answer is B General Slocum.
