Anyone Ever Heard of This Shipwreck?

I’m trying to remember the name of a boat that capsized while it was at the dock. I think hundreds of people died even though the boat was tied up. If I remember right what happened was it was a new boat and they were having a party to celebrate on it and too many people were on one side and the boat rolled. This happened maybe 40-100 years ago. I can’t remember anything more!

Thanks guys!

    It was CHICAGO in July, 1915. Approx. 1,000 to 1,300 people perished when the EASTLAND rolled rolled to port while docked.
