[00:00:00]Everyone knows the Titanic, but America had its own forgotten ship disasters.

[00:00:05]Massive ships lost in dark water and almost erased from history.

[00:00:10]1915, the SS Eastland, an American passenger ship in Chicago before leaving the dock.

[00:00:17]It suddenly rolled over. More than 800 people died within minutes. 1945, the USS Indianapolis, a US Navy ship sunk by a Japanese submarine. Hundreds of sailors were left alone in shark-filled waters.

[00:00:33]1975, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, a giant cargo ship lost during a deadly Great Lakes storm. All 29 crew members disappeared [music] forever. 2015, the El Faro, an American cargo ship caught inside a hurricane. The ship vanished with all 33 people on board. Just like Titanic, these American ships became forgotten underwater graveyards.
