In this image provided by the U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command, the USS Conestoga (AT-54) is seen in San Diego, Calif, circa early 1921. A Navy tugboat that sank nearly a century ago has been found by a team of government researchers off the San Francisco coast, officials announced Wednesday, March 23, 2016. The USS Conestoga departed San Francisco Bay for Pearl Harbor in March 1921. But the boat never made it to Hawaii, and her 56-man crew was declared lost. The boat was never found, despite a search that covered hundreds of thousands of square miles and was the biggest air and sea search of its time. (U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command via AP)
