On October 25, 1865, the legendary SS Republic sank 1,700 feet to the bottom of the Atlantic. With Odysseyâs 2003 discovery of the SS Republic, the shipâs remarkable legacy lives on as her story is chronicled in publications, television documentaries and exhibits.
Ultimately, however, the Republic's bulkheads did not hold. The next day, while under tow back to New York, she sank in deep and shark-infested waters 50 miles south of Nantucket Island-beyond the grasp of that era's technology to recover.
