In January 1906, the steamship SS Valencia embarked on a journey from San Francisco to Seattle—a routine voyage that would soon become one of the Pacific Northwest’s deadliest maritime disasters.

In this episode, we dive into the heartbreaking final hours of the SS Valencia, reliving the desperation, bravery, and tragic missteps that sealed the fate of nearly everyone on board. How did this routine journey become a legend of heartbreak and sorrow? And why do the tragic echoes of the Valencia still haunt the rugged coastline over a century later? Join me as I uncover the human stories left in the wake of one of history’s most devastating shipwrecks—a tale of tragedy, survival, and the unforgiving power of the sea.

While I do spout ficitional nonsense about the sea on my social media channels for entertainment purposes, I do put a lot of research into my podcast episodes.
