USS Conestoga Disaster

On March 25th, 1921, the USS Conestoga steamed out of Mare Island with an ultimate destination of American Samoa. She was still off the coast of San Francisco when hit with bad weather and sank. All 56 crewmen were lost.

Her wreck was discovered in 2009 off the coast of San Francisco and in October of 2015 a joint NOAA and U.S. Navy mission confirmed it was the hull of the USS Conestoga. Aerial maps of sunken ship can be found here.
