    North Brother Island, in NYC's East River, was the home of the hospital housing patients with tuberculosis and other highly contagious diseases where, in 1904, the double paddle-wheel cruise ship General Slocum ran aground while on fire, killing hiundreds, many of them children. This was the most fatal fire in NYC until the collapse of the World Trade Center in 2001.
