1901 San Francisco Bay ship wreck found

Scientists have located the wreckage of a passenger ship that crashed in 1901 near the site of what is now the Golden Gate Bridge, killing 128 people.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the ship, the City of Rio de Janeiro, was discovered with the help of a remote submersible last month in 287 feet of water about a half mile from San Francisco.

The ship was carrying 210 passengers, many of them Chinese emigrants, when it crashed in heavy fog. It went down in 10 minutes, and its exact location was a mystery.
