Delgado was the first archaeologist on board the Titanic in 2000. He said that every discovery can't be the Titanic, but the discovery of a much smaller ship like this 1888 shipwreck found in San Francisco is just as necessary to history because it portrays the kind of life common people went through during early times.
The Chester, the 1888 shipwreck found in San Francisco, was carrying 90 people when it went down on August 22nd of 1888.
Despite all these discoveries and truths revealed, authorities won't be pulling the 'Chester' from the water. Delgado justified that just knowing the 1888 shipwreck found in San Francisco is there is enough as "it's a tangible link to another time."
1888 shipwreck found in San Francisco, 'City of Chester' was named for the city the boat was built in - Chester, Pennsylvania.
