Catherine Uhlmyer Connelly (April 4, 1893 – October 17, 2002) was the second-to-last, and the longest-lived survivor of the General Slocum fire of June 15, 1904.

[1][2] On June 15, 1904, when she was 11 years old, she was one of the passengers aboard the General Slocum when it caught fire on the East River in New York City.

She remembered a boy shouting "fire" while a brass band was playing on the deck of the ship to entertain the travelers.

She recounted the images of mothers and children with their clothing on fire drowning in the rough waters of Hell Gate.

The total death count was 1,021 of the 1,331 passengers who were on a Sunday school outing, and among the victims were her mother, her nine-year-old brother Walter, and her 9-month-old sister Agnes.
