The George Collier was a Mississippi River steamboat built in 1835. On May 6, 1839, while steaming from New Orleans to St. Louis, her boilers exploded about Шаблон:Cvt south of Natchez, killing 26 passengers and severely injuring another 20 more.[1][2][3] Apparently the cause of the explosion was a faulty piston rod "which broke the forward cylinder-head, and carried away a part of the boiler-stands."[1]

This George Collier is not to be confused with the Mississippi steamboat called George Collier that burned at Memphis, Tennessee, in 1855, with a loss of 10 to 12 lives.[4]
