It can be argued that the wreck of the SS President Coolidge is the most famous shipwreck in the world; located in Espiritu Santo, the wreck has been one of the most accessible wrecks for years, and it is also home to dozens of diving sites waiting to be explored.

The SS President Coolidge was a luxury steamer with a capacity of over 1,000 passengers; the steamer also served as a troop carrier and it was conveying over 5,000 troops before it sank in 1942. Lots of artifacts can be found in the vicinity of the shipwreck, including the Unicorn porcelain statue.
