Description
For decades, questions have remained about the location of the SS Dix. The vessel was a member of the historic "Mosquito Fleet," a group of passenger transport companies that provided a main means of travel across Puget Sound.
In 1906, the SS Dix collided with the SS Jeanie near Alki Point- sinking quickly and killing at least 39 passengers.
Jeff Hummel, CEO of Rockfish, Inc., says he believes his crew has confirmed the location of the wreck. He's hoping to connect with lawmakers and government agencies to find a way to protect the site. Previously, the team was credited with locating and earning the salvage rights to the SS Pacific near Neah Bay.
