“Noonday Is There”
Although no actual remains were discovered, the team is optimistic that they have discovered Noonday’s final resting place. “Noonday is there. The signal is very clear. But there’s just nothing sticking above the seabed.” NOAA’s James Delgado notified the Associated Press at the time.
S.S. Selja
The wreck of the S.S. Selja, a steamer that sank in 1910, was also discovered by the NOAA team over the same survey. The ship had plied the trade routes between Asia and the Pacific Northwest, transporting goods from the United States for sale in China and Japan. And when the Selja set sail from Portland, Oregon, it was loaded with its usual cargo of timber and flour.
