Finding The SS Selja
The NOAA moved onto other locations, and it looks like they picked up another long-lost ship on their radar. They discovered the workhorse cargo steamer called the SS Selja. Sources say it sunk way back in 1910. This ship facilitated the trade of lumber and flour between the Pacific Northwest and Asia.
The SS Selja sunk after leaving Portland, Oregon, on January 22, 1910. Seeing the sunken ship on their radar was a big deal, making their researchers go on overdrive. Everybody wanted to know all the details surrounding the SS Selja and its devastating demise.
