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.
The Republic, just five years old, one of the most modern passenger liners afloat at that time, White Star Line's flagship of its Boston-Mediterranean service, was considered practically unsinkable. A ship of her size and modern-construction, with twelve watertight bulkheads, had never sunk before.
