The Ship under the Shoreline - La Jenelle the "Lucky Star"

00:00:59

1930 - A new luxury cruiseliner hits the waters and begins escorting elite passengers from New York to Puerto Rico. Drafted as a military transport during World War II, she earns the name “Lucky Star” for never being struck by enemy fire. She begins making runs to the Bahamas; saving 489 passengers from a burning cruise ship named Yarmouth Castle. 90 people perish in the inferno, leading to maritime regulations, that outlaw wooden super structures on cruise ships. The cost to comply with the regulations forces the ship to be sold. The new owners name her La Jenelle and anchor her outside Port Hueneme to avoid docking fees. On April 23, 1970, a massive storm causes her anchor to drift,despite desperate attempts by the two men on board, to save the ship. The men are rescued as the ship slides into her final resting place where she can be seen today poking through the surfline in Oxnard, California.
