USS Stewart Found Off the Northern California Coast
The century-old US Navy destroyer that earned the unenviable distinction of serving under both American and Japanese flags during World War II, was found by multiple agencies, during a collaborative expedition. Entities include Ocean Infinity, Air/Sea Heritage Foundation, NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, Naval History and Heritage Command, and SEARCH.
The wreck of what was once known as “the ghost ship of the Pacific” was found approximately 30 miles from shore, within the boundaries of the Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary. Read more.

The goal of the Fascinated by Shipwrecks podcast is to help educate the general public about the people and the science of maritime archaeology. We’re here to uncover shipwreck stories but also go behind the scenes to reveal how the people who work in this fascinating field do their jobs. The tale of each shipwreck is made more profound by the experiences of those who have researched, discovered, and documented these precious relics of our seafaring past.
Join us as we embark on a journey of discovery together!
