Remark: On June 24, 1910, the <i>S.S. United States</i> had difficulty in negotiating a tight turn on Trail Creek and backed into the Franklin Street Bridge, resulting in the bridge collapsing into the water. The <i>S.S. United States</i> was an excursion ship that traveled between Chicago, Illinois, and Michigan City, Indiana. No serious injuries resulted from this accident and the ship returned to Chicago later in the afternoon.
