    Caption: "S.S. Santa Rosa." Wreck of the S.S. Santa Rosa off Point Arguello in Santa Barbara County. The steamship ran aground on July 6, 1911. Unable to break free, the turbulent waters eventually cracked the ship in half. All two hundred passengers got to shore alive, the only fatalities coming when four sailors were accidentally thrown out of a lifeboat by rough seas while attempting to establish a land line to stabilize the wreck.
