15. SS Princess May - The Flying Ship

This iconic photograph shows the grounding of the SS Princess May steamship in August 1910 on Sentinel Island.

The Princess May was travelling at a speed of 10knots (19km/hour) when it smashed into the US coast and flew upwards out of the water and landed at a 23-degree angle on the rocks.

So amazing was this photograph that it was sold around the entirety of the west coast of America.
