Finding The SS City of Chester
The ship that the people from the NOAA discovered was the SS City of Chester. It sunk when it was on its way to Eureka, California, from San Francisco. As you can see in the photo above, the steamship had a classic design that ship designers don’t use much anymore.
The SS City of Chester didn’t sink out of the blue, for what caused it was the collision it had with the RMS Oceanic. The crash caused it to form a hole on the ship’s port side, and it eventually sunk in just several minutes. Sources say sixteen people went down with the ship.
