No One Knew What Happened To The USS Conestoga
People made use of the USS Conestoga during the height of World War I. The boat reportedly carried supplies and weapons and acted as a means to transport them from one place to another. When it sunk, it was making its way to Samoa.
The ship mysteriously disappeared after they left Mare Island. The lack of advanced surveillance systems made it hard for people to track them, and it’s why no one knew what happened to the tugboat since the ’20s. The NOAA now sheds some light on whoever had ancestors whose lives ended because of the tragic incident.
