SS Sinaloa 1917 – June 25th. Grounded at Cape Blanco

Tambaugh was no stranger to shipwrecks, nor to the section of the coast where the Chanslor was now aground. He had been radio operator on the Sinaloa when that vessel was wrecked off Cape Blanco in June 1917, and on that occasion had been rescued by the Coast Guard. The Sinaloa was salvaged, and returned to service.
