History for the day

Dallas Jensen has a Slate article and video (above) about an old shipwreck in an unlikely place:

A vessel called The City of Chester, built in 1875, suffered a heavy blow when it was rammed by a huge steamer in the dense fog of San Francisco Bay early on 22 August 1888. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said this week that it had located the site.
