A Mystery
The Conestoga was en route to Samoa, where she’ll be serving as a station ship after a career transporting supplies and weapons all through World War I. The ship and its 56 crew members simply disappeared after leaving Mare Island, about 20 miles north of San Francisco. The place of the lost vessel managed to remain a fascinating mystery for nearly a century.
Questions Had Been Answered
After some investigation, the NOAA team was able to solve the mystery. That isn’t to say the waters beneath the Golden Gate Bridge have revealed all of their secrets. If the specialists are to be trusted, it is far from the case. What else will ROVs find off the coast of San Francisco that has gone undetected? The only way to know for sure is to wait and see.
