SS City of Rio de Janeiro
The SS ''City of Rio de Janeiro'' was an iron hulled steam powered passenger ship, launched in 1878, which sailed between San Francisco and various Asian Pacific ports. On 22 February 1901, the vessel sank after striking a submerged reef at the entry to San Francisco Bay while inward bound from Hong Kong. Of the approximately 220 passengers and crew on board, fewer than 85 people survived the sinking, while 135 others were killed in the catastrophe. The wreck lies in of water just off the Golden Gate and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as nationally significant.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://nrhp.focus.nps.gov/natreg/docs/Main.xlsx )〕

==History==
Launched on 6 March 1878, the ''City of Rio de Janeiro'' was originally built for the United States & Brazil Mail Steamship Company, a two-ship shipping line between Brazil and the United States. This proved unprofitable and she was sold to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company in 1881 and refitted to serve as an ocean liner, traveling between her home port in San Francisco to Honolulu, Hawaii, Yokohama, Japan and Hong Kong.
In 1898 the US Government leased the ship for a short time to ferry troops to Manila in the Philippines as part of the Spanish American War.〔.〕 After the war, she went back to her usual Pacific route.
