MV Diamond Knot
The MV Diamond Knot was a C1-M-AV1 ship owned by the U.S. Maritime Commission under a bareboat charter to the Alaska Steamship Co., which sunk in the Strait of Juan de Fuca on the night of August 12, 1947, after a collision with the Fenn Victory.
The sinking resulted in the largest collision cargo loss in the waters of the Pacific Coast to that time. The ship was carrying a large cargo of canned salmon, most of which was subsequently recovered, repackaged, and sold.
The wreck remains on the seafloor where it originally sank, and is a popular spot for recreational SCUBA divers

gollark: My journal is stored electronically, and I do somewhat want that, and it would be annoying if I lost my large media libraries.
gollark: I store a bunch of data on a ~10-year-old 7.2krpm HDD and the last backups are from August or so, fun™.
gollark: SSDs are still about 4x the price/GB.
