Talk:Twelve Mile Island

I have removed the steam ship explosion as it is a different Twelvemile Island in the Illinois River (the ref source says Illinois River for area of the accident). Here is the deleted text (I made the ref into an external link):

On January 5, 1848, the sidewheel, wooden hull packet Planter was destroyed due to a boiler explosion while loading grain at Jones' Ferry on the island. Five people were killed. from "Riverboat Dave's"
