Both steamers were two stories high and about 300 feet long and carried a number of passengers. On December 4 they collided in the dark near Warsaw, Ky.. The "States" carried some barrels of oil that were crushed in the collision, and the oil was ignited almost instantly. Soon both steamers were on fire.
