SS Tahoe, Steamship wreck at Lake Tahoe, Nevada.

The SS Tahoe measured 169 feet in length with brass propellers, eight watertight compartments, and achieved speeds of 18.5 knots during service.

Constructed in 1896 at Union Iron Works in San Francisco, the vessel transported passengers, freight, and mail around Lake Tahoe until economic decline in 1934.

The interior featured teakwood finishes, mahogany details, leather seats, polished brass fittings, and electric lights, setting standards for lake transportation.

The wreck rests at depths between 360 and 490 feet off Glenbrook, requiring technical diving certification and specialized equipment for exploration.

New Millennium Dive Expeditions discovered the wreck in 2002, making it Nevada's first submerged site listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
