Does anyone have any information as to whether William Weise (he might have been a private at the time) was on the Sultana? He was my gggrandfather and his pension file includes an affidavit by his company commander to the effect that William was on "the steamboat that exploded" and I thought that it might have been the Sultana, although I know that plenty of other steamboats have exploded, also.

Thank you in advance.
