Wreckage of 1923 cable ship found intact on the seabed in Hawaii

The wreckage of the former cable ship Dickenson, later the USS Kailua, of 1923 vintage was found in good shape on the seabed last year on a maritime heritage submersible mission. It was discovered in intact condition and has been called as a "ghost ship". It was in 2,000 feet of water off the coast of Oahu - the third largest of the Hawaiian Islands.
The ship had been sunk by a torpedo, hence, it has come as a surprise because it was in good condition. The structures of the upper deck from the bow to the stern were well-preserved and showed no sign of torpedo damage.
This has been revealed by Terry Kerby, Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory's (HURL) submersible pilot.
The ship had been launched in Chester, Pennsylvania in early 1923 and was meant for the Commercial Pacific Cable Company – the ship was a vital part of a global network of submarine cable that carried telecommunications around the world. Later, during World War II, the former USS Kailua was targeted by submarine torpedo and sunk on February 7, 1946. The exact location of sinking was not recorded, hence, its final resting place had remained a mystery.
That has now been solved.
