The Sachem has sat on a small tributary of the Ohio River for over 30 years now, rusting away and falling prey to vandals. Despite the fact that it gets occasional interest as an urban-exploration site, the history of this vessel has been so often overlooked and is rarely told. Having been built in 1901, she served in both World Wars, was Thomas Edison's special at-sea laboratory, and served around 3,000,000 passengers in her long career.

I also love that this exploration is a unique opportunity to cross the two main focuses on my channel. Aside from the rich maritime history, it's also a remote ruin that we get to climb into and explore.
