From K-QED. I'm Olivia Allen Price, and this is Bay Curious. Today we're walking around the

financial district in San Francisco and we have no idea where we're going.

Is this a public park?

Yeah, well is this private property on it but it feels public?

Reporter Jessica Plachik and I

are trying to find this old whaling ship called the Niantic.

It's somewhere around the Transamerica pyramid.

So I'm nervous that we won't find it.

So imagine if you were asked to search for a long-lost ship,

you would probably think, okay, I guess

like we'll need a submarine or some scuba gear maybe some divers or something but this ship is a little bit different

I feel like we're getting closer like I feel like ship vibes it's actually buried in the middle of San Francisco way underground.

Finally, after what felt like forever.

Oh! We found the ship.

Sight of the ship Nyantic.

Well, okay, so it wasn't actually the ship.

It was this little plaque that marked where the ship once was,

but you get the idea.

Today on the podcast, we explore why are there buried ships under San Francisco.
