Wreck: SAN SABA
Type: shipwreck, freighter, USA
Built: 1879, Chester PA USA, as Colorado
Specs: ( 306 x 39 ft ) 2458 gross tons, 37 crew
Sunk: Friday October 4, 1918
struck mine laid by U-117 - 30 casualties
Depth: 80 ft
Being a hazard to navigation, the iron hulled San Saba was demolished a week after sinking. Today she sits in 80 ft of water in two mangled pieces of wreckage. The bow section is a jumble of hull plates, with winches and other machinery still visible. The stern section, some 250 ft away is also broken up. The boilers are still visible at the end closest to the bow. Her propeller can still be found, as well as wreckage off to the starboard side. Many artifacts can still be found. Glassware, brass, .22 caliber bullets, and china are still being brought up with a little digging. The San Saba is sometimes called the "Southwest Barge", or the "Magnolia Wreck", for the anti-friction metal bars she was carrying.
