USS San Diego
On July 19, 1918, the U.S.S. San Diego sank 11 miles south of Fire Island within sight of the American shore. With U-Boats lurking in the depths of nearby waters, a loud explosion was heard in the port engine room. With water rushing in the order was given to seal all watertight compartments. Assuming an attack by a nearby U-Boat, orders were given to depth charge the vicinity with 300 pound charges. The ship began to list towards port and this allowed the water to rush into the starboard engine room.

With the ship in danger from its own depth charges and men scrambling below decks in chaos trying to find their way in the complete darkness and gunners mates firing at anything that resembled a periscope in the water, the order was given to abandon ship. Within 20 minutes the ship turned completely upside down. Miraculously, only six sailors lost their lives.

What was a hellacious twenty minutes for all sailors involved turned out to be an underwater museum of artifacts and personal items from the First World War for wreck divers.

This book describes the history of the U.S.S. San Diego from not only its birth and trials at sea, but also its conception. There are also accounts of attempted salvage and detailed accounts of Gary’s dramatic penetrations into the wreck to gather some of the hundreds of photographs and artifacts seen in this book. With well over 150 dives on the San Diego, Gary is definitely the authority.

Controversy has recently erupted about what sank the San Diego. Some say it was a German saboteur, some say it was an explosion in the engine room, some even say that the San Diego struck a mine. Not only has controversy erupted over the cause of the sinking, but the San Diego has been in the news many times for divers that have lost their lives searching for artifacts.
