Beneath The Golden Gate Bridge: How Underwater Explorations Led Researchers To Discover Shipwrecks With Secrets That Tell Their Own History

The Selja Collided With Another Ship

The SS Selja didn’t collide with a rock-like the Noonday, for its collision was way worse. The ship hit the SS Beaver, which was another cargo ship. The boat captain didn’t hear the ship’s whistle right away, so he couldn’t have done anything to stop the accident.

The ship’s sinking happened when they were about 700 miles out, and it plummeted down to 180 feet. William Kidston, the captain of the SS Beaver, later said that the SS Selja only took ten minutes to sink. It sunk in a total of 30 fathoms of water.
