SS City of Chester

The SS ''City of Chester'' was a steamship built in 1875 that sank after a collision with RMS ''Oceanic'' at the Golden Gate in San Francisco Bay on August 22, 1888.
''City of Chester'' was long. She was owned by the Oregon Railroad Co. and leased by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company.〔

She sank in six minutes, and despite rescue efforts by those aboard ''Oceanic'', thirteen passengers, including two children, and three crew members died.〔 In terms of loss of life, this is the second most deadly wreck in the history of San Francisco Bay, after the sinking of the in 1901.〔
''Oceanic'' had Chinese crew and her steerage passengers were Chinese immigrants; anti-Chinese xenophobia was high in the US at the time and initially the Chinese were accused of letting ''City of Chester''s passengers drown. When news of their efforts to save them came out, it helped to reduce the prejudice against the Chinese.〔〔
