The Steamship Was Lost For Over 100 Years
You’d think that because the SS City of Chester sunk near the Golden Gate Bridge, it would’ve gotten discovered right away. It wasn’t the case, for it took about 120 years before people found it. The NOAA discovered it in 2014, and many were impressed with them finding a long-lost steamship.
Locating where it sunk is already a significant achievement, but exploring it was even more impressive. They did it through robots, and the whole team at the NOAA got shocked that the ship was still in good shape despite being underwater for a long time.
