I wasn't sure where to post this, but WWI era vessel and 1921 disappearance seemed appropriate to mention.
This missing vessel with a loss of all 56 on board was recently discovered off the US west coast:

"
The USS Conestoga departed San Francisco Bay for Pearl Harbor in March 1921. But the boat never made it to Hawaii, and her 56-man crew was declared lost. The boat was never found, despite a search that covered hundreds of thousands of square miles and was the biggest air and sea search of its time.
Officials from the Navy and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced that the tug has been found about 50 kilometres (30 miles) off the coast, near the Farallon Islands."
