===Mutiny on the ''Eastland''===
On 14 August 1903, while on a cruise from Chicago to [[South Haven, Michigan]], six of the ship's firemen refused to stoke the fire for the ship's boiler, claiming that they had not received their potatoes for a meal.<ref name="munity">{{Cite web |title=Eastland (1903) |url=http://www.maritimequest.com/liners/eastland/ss_eastland_data.htm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200216225420/http://www.maritimequest.com/liners/eastland/ss_eastland_data.htm |archive-date=16 February 2020 |access-date=10 May 2020 |website=Builder's Data and History |publisher=Maritime Quest}}</ref> When they refused to return to the fire hole, Captain John Pereue arrested the six men at gunpoint. Firemen George Lippen and Benjamin Myers, who were not a part of the group of six, stoked the fires until the ship reached harbor. Upon the ship's arrival in South Haven, the six men were taken to the town jail and charged with [[mutiny]]. Shortly thereafter, Captain Pereue was replaced.<ref name="munity" />
